2085373 9119927 PCTABS00008 A connector (1) for interconnecting two open-ended, generally aligned conduits (2, 3) comprises a sealing unit (16) movably connected to a toggle mechanism (17). By means of a simple tool, the connector (1) is lowered between the conduit ends until yokes (21, 22) of the toggle mechanism move inwardly to engage with flanges (8, 9) of the conduit ends to align further the conduits, and clamps (18, 19) which are interconnected by tension rods (20) pivot downwardly to clamp the conduit ends against the sealing unit (16). Tubular seals within the sealing unit (16) are then moved outwardly to engage with the conduit ends by further toggle arrangements (38) actuated by downward movement of a bar (46).
