A pipe connector (10) providing a fluid connection between two pipe sections. The connector includes a connector housing (12), the housing (12) including a first fluid flow port (14), a second fluid flow port (16) and a fluid flow chamber extending between the first and second fluid flow ports. The connector (10) includes a first attachment (20) assembly for attaching the connector (10) to the first pipe section, such that, in use, the first fluid flow port (14) is fluidly connected to an aperture provided in a sidewall of the first pipe section. The connector (10) further includes a second attachment assembly (22) for attaching the connector (10) to the second pipe section P2, such that, in use, the second fluid flow port (16) is fluidly connected to an open end of the second pipe section P2. The connector (10) still further includes a seal (24) for, in use, providing a fluid seal between the housing (12) and the first pipe section about the fluid connection between the first fluid flow port (14) and the aperture provided in the sidewall of the first pipe section P2. The seal has a body (26) extending outwardly from the housing (12) and the body (26) has an outer sealing edge (28) extending generally about the first fluid flow port (14) and is generally outwardly displaced therefrom. |
