Abstract
A method for fixing a stopper ring to the outer periphery of the spigot of a cast iron pipe for preventing separation of the pipe from another pipe. A single or plural annular grooves are formed on the inner periphery of the stopper ring, and a brazing filler material is fitted in the annular groove. The stopper ring with the annular groove in which is fitted the brazing filler material is fitted on the spigot of the pipe. Subsequently, the pipe is ferritically annealed and the stopper ring is simultaneously brazed to the spigot by the heat of annealing.
