Abstract
Apparatus for connecting a flexible pipe made of material such as polybutylene to a rigid component of a piping system made of metal or rigid thermoplastic material such as chlorinated polyvinylchloride. The apparatus comprises a compression fitting to which the rigid material can be connected, such as by a threaded connection, solvent weld or the like, and to which the flexible pipe can be connected by a compression joint which will provide a tight seal without cutting, abrading or otherwise causing damage to the flexible pipe.
