An end fitting for connecting two sections of pipe to one another can comprise a first tubular member, and a second tubular member disposed coaxially about the first tubular member to delimit an annular gap therebetween for receiving an end portion of a pipe. A sleeve can be disposed coaxially about the first tubular member and within the annular gap such that a pressurised medium is receivable between the sleeve and one of first and second tubular members to move at least a portion of the sleeve radially and thereby clamp the end portion of the pipe between the first and second tubular members when received in the annular gap. The end fitting may have particular application in conveying oil and gas field fluids, including hydrocarbon fluids.
