A fastener arrangement is provided for interconnecting the opposite ends of conveyor belts and the like, and includes a plurality of upper and lower plates arranged in a predetermined side-by-side relationship, and having interior faces shaped to abut both sides of the belt along the opposite belt ends. Each of the upper and lower plates includes apertures through opposite ends thereof in which associated fasteners are closely received. The fasteners have sharpened free ends which are driven through the opposite belt ends, and are bent closed into a crimped condition in which the upper and lower plates are converged and securely mounted on the opposite belt ends. Sealing strips extend along the upper and lower plates and retain the same in their predetermined side-by-side relationship, and are configured to bridge the gap between the opposite belt ends. When the free ends of the fasteners are crimped closed, the sealing strips are imbedded into both sides of the opposite belt ends, and thereby form a seal therebetween.
