German term or phrase: Steckprofil
Assembling an outdoor swimming pool. This is the step talking about connecting the steel walls.

Der Abstand der Stahlwandenden sollte ca. 5 mm betragen.
Das Steckprofil sitzt richtig, wenn die abgeschrägte Seite innen oben ist. Durch leichtes Hin- und Herbewegen beim Aufschieben der Steckschiene können Sie die Gängigkeit des Steckprofils verbessern. Zur Erleichterung beim Einstecken der Steckschiene können Sie auch beide Stahlwandenden mit technischer Vaseline einfetten

agree  Ramey Rieger (X): And this is the Steckprofile/Yes, I would probably have omitted 'profile,' calling the thing an attachment or attaching component.

  -> The German "Profil" is a catch-all term that we don't use as much. We tend to specify what the thing actually is.

Looks like push-in profile. Most relevant references with likewise shaped profiles refer to other subjects as swimming pools, unfortunately

COFLEX CM series is a modular system for deep bed installations which enables the realization of movement joints whose height perfectly matches the thickness of the screed + the tile covering.‎ It is composed of a synthetic resin co-extruded profile - the base module piece CM 300 P, with a visible section made of full coloured softer resin material, and of a twin-profile CM 200 P open in its upper part, which works as the former clip extension piece.‎

Anscheinend war eine Kontextübersetzung gewünscht. Hier ist sie

(beim Aufschieben der Schiene können Sie das Steckprofil durch leichtes Hin- und Herbewegen leichtgängiger machen) =>
(When pushing on the rail you can make the profile running more smoothly by moving it slightly back and forth).

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks Johannes! Would you then suggest "push-in rail" for "Steckscheine" (Durch leichtes Hin- und Herbewegen beim Aufschieben der Steckschiene können Sie die Gängigkeit des Steckprofils verbessern)?
