ABSTRACT:
A joint assembly for a pipe and a backing mechanism therefor. The joint assembly provides for sealing a pipe, the pipe having an elongate axis, an inside surface, an outside surface and a flange disposed at one end thereof, the flange having a front surface facing away from the pipe, a back surface and an inner periphery defining an outlet of the pipe. Sealing material is disposed adjacent the front surface and inner periphery of the flange. A backing member is adapted to engage the flange and to apply a compressive load from the back surface of the flange toward the sealing material adjacent the from surface and the inner periphery of the flange so as to seat the sealing material along the inner periphery. Seating is against a surface of a cooperating joint member adjacent the front surface of said flange.
