A thrust-resistant joint for pipe which is assembled by inserting an inner pipe section into a sleeve includes a gasket seated in a groove for providing a fluidtight seal. A shoulder on the inner pipe section cooperates with the gasket and groove to indicate the proper relative assembled position of the pipe section and the sleeve. Thrust loads across the pipe joint are transferred between the pipe section and the sleeve by a split locking ring located within a dual diameter annular channel in the sleeve. Assembly of the joint can be accomplished without resorting to a wedging action to seat the locking ring, because the split locking ring can be positioned in a large diameter portion of the annular channel during the assembly procedure and in a smaller diameter portion of the channel that is at least equal in size to the effective diameter of the locking ring after the pipe joint is assembled.
