Abstract

Lengths of pipe are joined together in above- or below-ground telephone conduit systems by flexible sleeves having specified coefficient of friction, column expansibility and pull-out resistance and containing helically oriented high modulus reinforcement, bonded or encapsulated in elastomeric material. The resultant pipe assemblies represent a significant improvement over previously known cemented conduit-coupling arrangements. Pipe sections may be quickly and economically joined without field application of adhesive, to provide water-tight, pull-out-resistant joints which will accomodate significant bending moments and shearing forces.
