Abstract
A coupling is provided for joining the ends of relatively soft plastic conduit. Hinged shell halves contain gripping teeth that penetrate and secure the conduit ends together. Penetration of the gripping teeth into the plastic conduit is accomplished by toggle clamps that supply the necessary embedding force. A seal is provided that prevents leakage into or out of the joint between the conduit ends.
