The invention relates to a spigot-and-socket joint for connecting two pip es, pipe fittings, or similar. Said spigot-and-socket joint comprises a sock et end (16) which is assigned to one pipe and into which a spigot end of the other pipe can be inserted, said other pipe being provided with a support s trip (64). The socket end (16) is fitted with a radially inward-protruding e dge (20) with at least one ring segment-shaped recess (26 to 29). The invent ive spigot-and-socket joint further comprises a mechanism (40) for locking t he spigot end in the socket end, the locking action being obtained by the su pport strip resting against the locking mechanism and the locking mechanism resting against the edge. The locking mechanism is equipped with at least tw o ring segment-shaped locking elements. The disclosed spigot-and-socket join t is characterized in that at least four recesses (26 to 29) are provided wh ich are equidistantly disposed in the circumferential direction while the tw o locking elements are each fitted with two ring segment-shaped locking part s (52, 54) which are interconnected via one respective web (56). The space b etween the two locking parts of a locking element matches the space between two recesses.
