摘要

A connecter (30) for connecting a pair of pipe sections (32,33) together. The connector (30) includes three internally threaded segments (58) which are mounted for sliding radial movement in the connector (30). The connector (30) is first mounted on an internally threaded female end (34) of one pipe section (32) and then the male end (40) of the other pipe section (33) is forced within the internally threaded segments (58) for threaded engagement.
