<p>A connection assembly for connecting a pipe, rod or pole to a connector, the assembly comprising: a collet having at a first end thereof a collet head having at least one abutment and at the second end thereof a collet collar, the collet having a bore therethrough, the collet bore being dimensioned and configured to receive and fittingly engage the pipe, rod or pole, the collet head being resiliency deformable so as to impinge on the pipe, rod or pole when deformed inwardly, the collet being provided with at least one screw thread on the external surface of the collet; a collet holder having a collet holder bore therethrough, the collet holder bore being dimensioned and configured to receive the collet, the collet holder bore comprising at least one screw thread on the surface thereof which matches the thread of the collet; and optionally a collet deflector dimensioned and configured to receive an abutment of the collet; wherein in use the collet holder and collet are mutually rotatable about a collet screw thread and a collet holder screw thread to cause the collet to engage with the collet deflector, whereby the collet deflector impinges on an abutment of the collet head to deform the collet head, which thereby impinges on and grips the pipe, rod or tube. A connector for use with the connection assembly, and a kit comprising the assembly and connector, are also described.</p> |
