Abstract
Disclosed is a pipe fitting for making a bonded joint on a pipe comprising a hub, a cap, and a method for bonding the hub to the pipe. The hub has a cone-shaped bore section with an inner diameter at one end similar to the outer diameter of the pipe, expanding to a second diameter. The cap has a protrusion extending along its bore with a leading edge of a diameter larger than the outer diameter of the pipe as well as an inner-trailing edge of diameter similar to the outside of the pipe. Helical ribs on both components allow the cap to be mounted to and tightened against the hub. As the components are assembled onto a pipe, the protrusion on the cap pushes previously applied adhesive under the protrusion and along the pipe, sandwiching adhesive between the pipe and the protrusion, and between the hub and the protrusion.
