The connector consists of a rigid body (2), e.g. of a molded synthetic material, with a tubular insert (3) for each pipe (5) with first and second peripheral grooves (9, 13) for a seal (10) and a split ring (16) with sharp-edged external gripping elements (20). The grip ring and second groove have matching inclined thrust surfaces (15, 19). The connector consists of a rigid body (2), e.g. of a molded synthetic material, with a tubular insert (3) for each pipe (5) having first and second peripheral grooves (9, 13) for a seal (10) and a split ring (16) with sharp-edged external gripping elements (20). The grip ring and second groove have matching inclined thrust surfaces (15, 19) to expand the grip ring as the connector is tightened by an external rigid tubular sleeve (25). The body has a stop collar (24) for the pipe end and the outer sleeve has a window (27) for checking the position of the pipe end and an in-turned edge (26) to engage with the collar. In a variant the tubular inserts can be of metal and the stop collars of synthetic material.
