Abstract:
A connector (1) for connecting together at least two tubular members (3) includes a body (7) having tubular mouth portions, each receiving one of said tubular members. At least one of the mouth portions is provided with means for connecting the body to a tubular member, the connection means comprising sealing means (17) for sealing the body against the tubular member and securing means for preventing relative longitudinal movement between said body and said tubular member. The securing means comprise a first securing member (25) for engagement with the tubular member and being deformable between a tubular member engaging position and a position allowing said first member to be readily moved along the tubular member, and a second securing member (31) being for holding the first securing ember in its tubular member engaging position.
