Claim 0:
1. A pipe adapter assembly comprising:
a housing that includes a lumen for fluid communication between a first end and a second end along a lumen and a bore positioned inwardly from said first end;
an insert that includes a passage that includes a plurality of teeth and having a tapered outer surface with at least one slot, wherein the insert is configured to fit within the bore of the housing and abut the bore of the housing;
a grip actuator that includes a flanged body and a protrusion wherein said protrusion having a generally circular configuration and is configured to fit within the bore of the housing, an abutment surface of the protrusion positioned radially inwardly relative to a perimeter of the protrusion that extends concentrically about an aperture through the grip actuator; and
a pair of sealing rings comprising a first ring that is compressible and a second ring that is non-compressible, wherein the pair of sealing rings are positioned between the housing and the insert;
wherein the pipe adapter is configured to receive a pipe member through said lumen, passage, and aperture; and
wherein the pipe adapter is configured to selectively lock the housing to the pipe member by translating the abutment surface against the tapered outer surface of the insert to bias the plurality of teeth against the pipe member.
