A pipe connection fitting includes a gasket holder ring, a flap ring and a grip ring operably coupled together. A terminal housing is configured to engage with the gasket holder, flap ring and grip ring to form the pipe connection fitting adjacent an end of a pipe. The flap ring includes a plurality of tabs extending therefrom to provide an abutment for controlling a relative position of the grip ring.

Pipe connection fitting

A fluid connection joint to couple tubular pipes intended to convey gas, compressed air and other fluids. The fluid connection joint includes a deformable internal ring having sealing surfaces internally to engage with an outer surface of a first tubular element and frontally to engage with a second tubular element. The deformable internal ring is located within a housing that is coupled to a flange of the second tubular element by fixing screws. The tightening of the fixing screws results in a substantially radial compression of the internal ring and seals around the first tubular element and a second substantially axial compression of the frontal seal against the flange.
