ABSTRACT:
A joint comprises a body including a cylindrical front wall having an inner bore, a small diameter chamber extending from the bore and having a diameter larger than that of the cylindrical wall, a large diameter chamber extending rearwardly from the small diameter chamber, and a rear, engagement wall, seal rings disposed in the small diameter chamber through a spacer, and a discrete socket having a rear end engaged with the engagement wall of the body and a front end projecting to provide a plurality of claws. The claws are resiliently engageable with an annular projection of a pipe when the pipe is inserted into the joint. The small diameter chamber has an annular step on its inner periphery. The spacer includes an annular projection for engagement with the step of the small diameter chamber. A bushing is disposed behind the seal rings.
