<p>A coupling (40) for joining pipe segments together is disclosed. The coupling is derived from a standard fitting and has a housing with a socket (18) and a first expanded region (20) adjacent to the socket and a second expanded region an a support washer (45) having traversely oriented radially and coaxial flanges is positiones adjacent to the retainer. A lip (32) turned inwardly on the second expanded region overlaps the radial flange and captures the support washer, the retainer has a plurality of radial teeth (60) angularly oriented to engage a pipe and prevent its removal from the coupling.</p> |
