A pipe coupling for connecting a pipe (6) to a fitting (5). The coupling comprises an annular assembly (1) incorporating a gripping ring (4) for inserting into a radial gap between the pipe (6) and the fitting (5), and means (8, 9) for applying an axial load to the annular assembly (1) so that the gripping ring (4) is biased radially against the pipe (6). The gripping ring (4) is defined by a plurality of separable segments dimensional such that when the annular assembly (1) is axially compressed each of the segments is biased against the pipe (6). |
