A pipe coupling includes a housing (2, 3) and a conical split ring (4) which is compressed to firmly clamp a pipe (p) received within the housing (2, 3). The opposite ends (41, 42) of the split ring (4) defining the split are laterally offset from each other such as to permit the split ring (4) to be compressed to substantially decrease its internal diameter, by the offset ends (41, 42) moving in overlapping relation to each other, thereby enabling the split ring (4) to clamp the pipes (p) having a wide range of outer diameters.
