A quick installation pipe coupling includes a supporting barrier ring that is located between a gasket and a bottom wall of an annular channel that is defined by housing segments in between arcuate engaging shoulders thereof. The supporting barrier ring extends as a protective barrier circumferentially around an outer surface of the gasket, and is dimensioned and configured to support the housing segments spaced-apart in a pre-assembled ready for installation state of the coupling with their arcuate engaging shoulders delimiting insertion openings towards the central space that are larger than cross-sectional dimensions of the pipe ends before tightening of connection members.
