ABSTRACT:
A connector for connecting the open terminal ends of two pipes. The connector includes a first and a second generally half circular partial bush each having an end which extends into one of the pipe terminal ends. A bolt tightened through one partial bush presses against the facing abuttable surface of the other partial bush to press the other partial bush outwardly causing the partial bushes to frictionally engage in the pipe ends. The bolt preferably extends non-radially along a chord of the circle defined by the bushes. Protrusions axially spaced from the bolt at the facing surfaces of the partial bushes helps distribute the pressing force of the partial bushes to both pipe terminal ends.
