A pipe connector for providing a fluid connection between two pipe sections. The connector includes a connector housing, the housing including a first fluid flow port, a second fluid flow port and a fluid flow chamber extending between the first and second fluid flow ports. The connector includes a first attachment assembly for attaching the connector to the first pipe section, such that, in use, the first fluid flow port is fluidly connected to an aperture provided in a sidewall of the first pipe section. The connector further includes a second attachment assembly for attaching the connector to the second pipe section, such that, in use, the second fluid flow port is fluidly connected to an open end of the second pipe section. The connector still further includes a seal for, in use, providing a fluid seal between the housing and the first pipe section about the fluid connection between the first fluid flow port and the aperture provided in the sidewall of the first pipe section. The seal has a body extending outwardly from the housing and the body has an outer sealing edge extending generally about the first fluid flow port and is generally outwardly displaced therefrom. |
