Abstract
A method of installing a pipe coupling to connect a first pipe element to a second pipe element includes sliding the pipe coupling as a preassembled unit over an outermost surface of the first pipe element, the pipe coupling comprising a coupling segment and an annular gasket, the annular gasket comprising an annular body and a pair of sealing ribs extending substantially radially inward from the annular body, each sealing rib comprising a sealing ridge defining a sealing surface, the sealing surface of each sealing ridge being coannular in an undeformed state; introducing an end of the second pipe element to an end of the first pipe element to place the first pipe element and the second pipe element in end-facing relationship; aligning the pipe coupling over the first pipe element and the second pipe element; and securing the coupling to the first pipe element and the second pipe element.
