Claim 5:
6. A method of forming a coupling region of a corrugated piping assembly, comprising the steps of:
providing a corrugated pipe section having a proximal end and a distal end;
providing a sleeve having first and second sleeve ends, the sleeve comprising an internal through going passage between the first and second sleeve ends, and an internal face surrounding the passage, the internal face tapering slightly inward from the first sleeve end to the second sleeve end;
arranging the sleeve over the pipe section such that the sleeve is axially slidable along the pipe section, with the second sleeve end facing the pipe section's proximal end;
urging a connector into the proximal end of the pipe section; and
urging the sleeve axially along the pipe section in a proximal direction until the sleeve fits over the connector such that the pipe section is axially and radially fixed to the connector.
