ABSTRACT:
An improved device and method for attachment of a plumbing fitting to a pipe or other drain receptacle is described in which the device has at least one elastomeric rib disposed about the outer circumference of the body of the device for forming a watertight seal against the interior wall of the drain receptacle. The ribs are angled in an axial direction opposite to the direction of insertion, allowing easy insertion into a drain receptacle, while causing a radial self-tightening force resisting movement in the direction of removal, and enhancing the seal. The device also allows lateral movement of the receptacle relative to the device, as well as expansion and contraction, without impairing the seal.
