ABSTRACT:
A variable radial orientation pipe MJ connector for engagement with a pair of bell end fittings. The MJ connector includes a tubular sleeve having opposed open ends. A pair of flanges are integral with the sleeve, each flange extending radially outward from the sleeve. Each flange is spaced inwardly from an open end. A shoulder extends axially from each flange to abut a circular gasket. A plurality of axially aligned arcuate slots in each flange receive fasteners therethrough whereby the radial orientation of the connector to the bell end fittings may be selected.
