A pipe connector for gripping pipes which are pushed into the ends of the connector. A hinged locking member is supported in each end of the connector by a releasable clamp, the locking member having a spring biased hinged bar element which extends diametrically and jams across the inside of the pipe when the pipe is pulled out very slightly. The locking members are attached to the clamp at the axis of the connector, so that the pipes can be rotated axially while held in place. When the clamp is released the locking members are loosened or fall free inside the connector and allow the pipes to be removed.
