Abstract
A pipe joint comprises a pair of tubular joint members having a gasket holding annular projection on each of butting faces thereof, an annular gasket interposed between the butting end faces of the joint members, and a nut for connecting the joint members together. When the nut is tightened up, an indentation is formed in a surface of the gasket pressed by each of the gasket holding projections, and the gasket is pressed also by a portion of the end face of each joint member having no annular projection.
