A simpler method and apparatus for joining plastic pipe (2) is provided by creating a flange ring (4) on the end of a plastic pipe (2), the flange ring (4) being cut from a short length of a larger dimension plastic pipe selected or machined to fit closely over the outer diameter of the plastic pipe (2) to provide a flange (4) which may be bolted or fastened to a similar flange. A similar method may be used to provide a connection by means of a coupling. |
