Abstract
A pair of pipe members, each including an inner pipe jacket consisting essentially of a thermoplastic material and an outer pipe jacket consisting essentially of a fiber winding impregnated synthetic resin, are joined together at their ends in a connector assembly which includes a pair of semi-circular shells engaged externally about the outer pipe jackets at each end of the pipe members, a pair of clamping rings in press-fitted engagement about the shells for pressing the shells against the pipe members and a pipe stub arranged internally of the pipe members in cooperative relationship with the inner pipe jackets to form a fluid-tight seal therebetween.
