<p>The element i.e. joint (1), has an annular part (2) elastically deformable under an action of axial constraints, where the element is defined by sidewalls. The sidewalls comprise a mechanical annular reinforcement (3) integrated to the annular part. The sidewalls are connected to an inner surface and an outer surface. The reinforcement is prolonged on a portion of the inner surface and/or the outer surface, where the reinforcement is made of polymer or metal. An independent claim is also included for a pipe end connection device comprising a body defining a reception housing receiving a pipe end.</p> |
