ABSTRACT:
A non threaded pipe connecting system for connecting pipe without the use of threads comprising; a first pipe member; a second pipe connector member having at least two slots formed therein and an inside diameter larger than the outside diameter of the first pipe member for receiving and snugly fitting about the outside diameter of the first pipe member; at least one o-ring mounted between the first and second pipe members for forming a seal therebetween and; a U-shaped clip member having generally parallel legs for being driven along the slots of the second pipe connector member on the outside of the second pipe member for sharply deforming the surface of the first pipe member on at least two sides and for forming an angle with said first pipe member along the sharply deformed area on the first pipe member for preventing the first pipe member from moving after insertion into the second pipe connector member.
