Abstract
A pipe coupling assembly for joining two sections of polymer pipe, the pipe coupling assembly comprising: an insert configured for positioning within an end region of a first section of polymer pipe and an end region of a second section of polymer pipe, such that an annular gap is formed between the insert and the end regions of polymer pipe; an adhesive configured for sealing the annular gap between the insert and the end regions; and an external coupler for positioning over the end regions and joining the first and second sections of polymer pipe.
