Sealing pipe joint made of resin
A sealing pipe joint made of resin includes a joint body, an inner ring, and a nut. The inner ring includes a plug head, the joint body includes a slot portion, the plug head is inserted within the slot portion to form a sealing connection. The nut is connected to the join body to maintain the plug head and the slot portion in a plugged state, the nut presses against the inner ring. In a free state, a radius thickness of the plug head is linearly changed along the axis of the inner ring, and in plugged state, the slot portion is elastically deformed and a radius changing rate of the slot portion is less than that of the plug head when the plug head is in the free state.
Grip ring
A grip ring includes a substantially frustoconical metal ring body defining a diameter that tapers from a first lateral end of the ring body to a second lateral end of the ring body opposite the first lateral end, the ring body further defining a first circumferential end, a second circumferential end opposite the first circumferential end, an inner surface defining a guide ring opening, and an outer surface opposite the inner surface; and a gap defined between the first circumferential end and the second circumferential end; wherein the ring body is configured to be compressed radially inward to reduce a width of the gap between the first circumferential end and the second circumferential end.
