ABSTRACT:
A tube coupling comprising a first and second tubular member the first tubular member having a bell end and the second tubular member having a pin end for telescopic engagement within the bell end of the first tubular member. A deformable band secures the first and second tubular members in telescopic engagement and prevents relative movement therebetween. Each tubular member is provided with an annular ridge. These ridges are juxtaposed when the first and second tubular members are telescopically engaged. A deformable band having a longitudinal groove formed therein has a connector loop at one end; and a projection extending outwardly from the opposite end. The band is detachably securable around the telescopically engaged tubular members. The connector loop and projection of the deformable band cooperate to tightly secure the band around the telescopically engaged tubular members, trapping the annular ridges within a longitudinal groove, for preventing relative movement of the tubular member.
