Hand-fitted pipe union for use in confined space has tapered end of first pipe forced into second, which is clamped by flanged sleeve

摘要

A two-part pipe union consists of a first straight pipe (1) which slides outside the end (2c) of a second pipe (2). This pipe has an elbow section with a strong hitting surface (2b) opposite the end of the first pipe. The end of the second pipe has a raised section with a slanted leading edge which is presented to the receiving matching end of the pre-secured fixed first pipe. The second pipe is pushed home into the first by a hand-blow to the hitting surface (2b), and secured by a flanged (3a) sleeve (3).
