Abstract
A fitting for coupling to a pipe includes a sleeve for receiving the pipe and a sealing member to provide a seal between the sleeve and the pipe. A pressure ring acts on a pressure member through adjoining slanting contacting surfaces of the pressure ring and pressure member, respectively. The sealing member is configured to be displaced from the slanting contact surfaces to preserve the life of the seal.
