The invention relates to a joint that is used to connect two tubular elements comprising: a basic body (12) consisting of an end piece (26), which is used to house a spigot end (6), and a flange (20); a counterflange (14); a packing (16); and tightening means (52, 54) which are disposed between the flange (20) and the counterflange (14). Said tightening means can move the counterflange (14) from an assembly position, in which the packing (16) is slack, to a clamping position, in which the packing (16) is clamped against the housing end piece (26). The inventive joint also comprises temporary holding means (60) which are designed to hold the counterflange (14) in the assembly position thereof when a spigot end (6) is being inserted into the housing end piece (26). The invention is suitable for use in the leakproof assembly of pipe elements which are used in drinking water distribution systems and sewage disposal systems. |
