The invention relates to a pipe, in particular a plastic pipe for wastewater lines, which has at least one socket end which is provided with an annular bead (4) and a socket neck (3) and forms a first pipe (1) into the socket end of which the spigot end of a second pipe or shaped part (13) can be plugged and removed again therefrom, and in which an elastic annular seal (6) is inserted into the annular bead (4). According to the invention, the socket neck (3) of the pipe is provided with a screw thread (9) onto which there can be screwed a screw ring (8) which comprises an inner ring part (10) and an outer ring part (11) between which an annular gap is formed, and the ring parts (10, 11) are connected by means of a ring base (12) facing away from the annular bead (4), wherein, upon screwing the screw ring (8) onto the screw thread (9), the front edge (14) of the inner ring part (10) compresses the annular seal (6) inserted into the annular bead (4) and arrests the spigot end of the second pipe or shaped part (13) in the first pipe (1).

A fitting to interconnect water pipes or to connect pipes with valves or mountings. The connector housing has an O-ring seat, constituting two walls of a groove for an O-ring. The fitting comprises a clamping sleeve, having a first end provided with a flange, which forms a third wall of the O-ring seat groove. The flange is retained against the coupling housing by a nut screwed by hand onto outer threads on the coupling housing. The clamping sleeve is adapted to be clamped against a pipe which is inserted into the clamping sleeve, and the O-ring seals against the outer surface of the pipe.

A method for inhibiting separation of joined pipes including providing within a pipe bell a gasket including rigid segments, each segment having bell teeth configured for engaging the bell and a spigot tooth configured for engaging a pipe spigot seated in the bell. Upon pressurization and over-pressurization of the joint, resulting axial forces exerted on the joint, which can cause pipes to separate, are countered by wedging the segments between the bell and the spigot and rotating each segment so that the thrust forces are directed radially. To prevent radially-directed thrust forces from damaging the joint through over-rotation of the segments, the bell teeth and the spigot tooth are adapted and arranged to maintain the thrust forces load path carried by each segment within a desired angular range relative to the spigot by transferring the load path between adjacent bell teeth whereby the effective length of each segment is increased.

A method for manufacturing a resin pipe joint with a joint body includes the following steps. Preparing a mold and a supply device configured to supply molten resin. The mold includes a first mold for an outer shape of the joint body and a second mold for an inner shape of the joint body. Combining the second mold with the first mold to form a cavity, into which the molten resin is injectable, inside the mold. Supplying the molten resin to the cavity in the mold. Solidifying the molten resin in the cavity after stop of the supply of the molten resin from the supply device. The second mold has a gap that connects the cavity to a discharge space outside the cavity and allows gas to flow.

A sealing ring has a circular ring with a circular outer edge and a circular inner edge. The circular ring further has a first curved surface and a second curved surface between the circular outer edge and the circular inner edge. The circular outer edge, the first curved surface and the second curved surface have curved cross-sectional shapes. The circular ring further has a circular recess on the circular inner edge. The circular ring also has a circular protrusion on the circular recess respectively adjacent to the first curved surface and the second curved surface.

A PVC-O pipe has an axis of symmetry, a main longitudinal extension in a direction parallel to the axis from first to second ends, an inner chamber passing from the first to second end and a seal, positioned in a respective housing seat, with circumferential extension relative to the axis. The seal has an inner surface, facing the inner chamber, and an outer surface, facing the housing seat. The outer surface has first and second contiguous portions defining a cusp. The first and second portions are inclined relative to a parallel direction by respective acute angles. The inner chamber has a taper leading externally at the first end, having a divergent shape. The taper has an inclination relative to the parallel direction equal to an acute angle whose value relates to the value of the acute angle of the first portion, relative to the parallel direction.
