Abstract
What is disclosed is a novel unitary locking gasket for use with a junction coupling to obtain a leak-proof mechanical pipe connector. Also disclosed is the use of the gasket to provide a junction in a main conduit. The gasket is designed to allow full rubber gasketing between the pipe and a metal spigot of the gasket.
