ABSTRACT:
A pipe connection, and method for forming said connection, wherein one pipe is connected at an angle to the side of a second pipe, said connection forming a structural joint and not a flow passage; a first pipe has a cylindrical opening formed in its side while a second pipe has one end contoured to fit against the side of said first pipe over said opening; said second pipe has a locking member fixed to the interior thereof with a projection which fits into the opening in said first pipe with said projection having a stem extending therefrom having an enlarged head which projects into the interior of said first pipe; a holding clip is positioned between the underside of said enlarged head and the inner surface of said first pipe forcing the contoured end of said second pipe against the side of said first pipe. When the pipe material used is PVC, ABS, or any other plastic with similar characteristics of resiliency and bond-ability, the diametrical contour at the end of said second pipe is formed having a diameter which is slightly smaller than that of the first pipe.
