ABSTRACT:
A device for attaching a pipe (A) to an opening 2) in a curved wall (B). The device includes a connector (1), and a gasket (12). The connector (1) has a tubular inner surface to receive the pipe (A), a central portion (11) surrounded by the gasket (12), and a plurality of teeth (10) extending axially outwardly from the central portion (11) with ledges on the teeth extending radially outward and at least two of the teeth facing each other and being of equal length. The teeth (10) are adapted to fit into the curved wall opening (2). The connector has a shoulder (13) at an end opposite the teeth, with an inner ledge on the shoulder facing the ledges on the teeth and adapted to compress the gasket (12) between the shoulder inner ledge and an outside surface of the curved wall adjacent the opening (2). The teeth are sufficiently rigid to allow rotation of the connector once the at least two facing teeth have engaged an inside surface of the wall opening, whereby rotation of the connector and the engagement of the teeth with the inside surface of the wall provides a means for axially translating the piece into the opening and for squeezing the gasket between the inner shoulder ledge and an outside surface of the curved wall adjacent the opening.
