An elongated pipe may include a fiber reinforced polymer composite joining member for joining sections of pipe together. A pipe joint and elongated pipe may include at least two pipe sections having ends that are joined together with the joining member. The pipe joint and elongated pipe are formed by joining abutting ends of adjacent pipe sections with the joining member without the need for the adjacent pipe sections to have other connection means, such as standard bell and spigot end connections. A method may include joining pipe sections with the joining member to make an elongated pipe.

A method for joining two pipe sections of laminate structure and having an inner liner, comprising the steps of: (a) connecting a first pipe section to a first connection member to form a first assembly; (b) disposing the first assembly within a sleeve with a space disposed between an outer surface of the first pipe section and an inner surface of the sleeve; (c) optionally connecting the sleeve to the first assembly; (d) providing a second pipe section with a second connection member joinable with the first connection member; (e) moving the second pipe section and the first assembly towards each other; and (f) connecting the second pipe section to the first assembly through joining the second connection member to the first connection member to form a joint, the inner liner of both the first and second pipe sections being locked within the joint.

The invention relates to a coupling arrangement for a domestic appliance, comprising: a connection piece that has a channel for transporting a fluid on its inner side, and a shoulder on its outer side; an elastic bushing that is pushed onto said connection piece in an assembly direction, said bushing having, on its inner side, a first shoulder which engages behind the shoulder of said connection piece, and a second shoulder on its outer side; and a corrugated hose that comprises, on an end section thereof and on its inner side, a shoulder which engages behind the second shoulder of said bushing.
