<p>A pipe connector capable of tightly coupling pipes at opposite ends thereof. The pipe connector includes a nipple (100) including a first pipe member (30) and a second pipe member (40) adapted to receive one end of a pipe (110) to be coupled to the nipple (100), a clamp member (120) adapted to be threadedly coupled to the second pipe member (40), an inner pipe portion (40b) formed radially inwardly of the second pipe member (40) to extend in a longitudinal direction of the second pipe member (40), an annular space defined between the second pipe member (40) and the inner pipe portion and adapted to receive the one end of the pipe (110), a spacer (40d) extending from an outer end of the second pipe member (40) in a longitudinal direction of the second pipe member (40), the spacer (40d) being adapted to be pressed against an outer surface of the pipe (110) toward a center line of the pipe by the inclined surface (120c) of the clamp member (120) when the clamp member (120) is fastened under a condition that the one end of the pipe (110) has been received in the annular space, whereby the pipe is partially depressed by the spacer (40d), and an annular groove (40c) formed on an outer surface of the inner pipe portion and adapted to receive the depressed portion of the pipe (110). <IMAGE></p> |
