<p>A pipe coupling has a housing has a receiving recess for a pipe, the housing having a through hole extending from a first aperture in an external surface of the housing through to a second aperture in the inner wall of the receiving recess. A fixing element is arranged to slidingly mate with the through hole in the housing to give a mated configuration, and when in the mated configuration, an engagement part of the fixing element is adapted to project through the second aperture to lockingly engage with the outer surface of the pipe. The through note is also provided with a locking means adapted to be configured in an open configuration, in which the fixing element can be slidingly mated with or removed from the through hole through the first aperture, and a locked configuration, in which the locking means holds the fixing element in the mated configuration in the through hole. The pipe coupling provides a fluid-tight connection using relatively low-tolerance, easily manufactured parts and suitable for rapid deployment in hazardous environments.</p> |
