A device for connecting a plurality of elongate objects e.g. pipes comprises a rigid open-ended tube (20,25) that is capable of being joined to the elongate objects to form a connection between the objects. The tube has a dimensionally recoverable skirt (2l,27) in the region of one, and preferably each end thereof which can be recovered about the join between the tube and object, and the device has a bonding insert (23,28) formed from a solid, fusible thermosetting adhesive for providing a permanent bond between the rigid tube and the object. The device is especially suitable for forming in situ repairs in existing pipes, for example in domestic equipment or installed pipework. |
