Claim 14:
15. A pipe coupling comprising:
a coupling body defining a hole; and
an indicator assembly comprising:
a fastener extending through the hole;
a first indicator ring mounted on the fastener and defining a first end, a second end opposite the first end, an outer surface, and an inner surface opposite the outer surface, the inner surface defining a conical, hollow bore extending from the first end to the second end, wherein a diameter of the conical, hollow bore at the first end is less than a diameter of the conical, hollow bore at the second end; and
a second indicator ring mounted on the fastener and configured to engage the conical, hollow bore of the first indicator ring, the second indicator ring defining a first end, a second end opposite the first end, an outer surface, and an inner surface opposite the outer surface, the outer surface defining a conical shape, wherein a diameter of the outer surface at the first end is less than a diameter of the outer surface at the second end;

wherein:
the coupling body defines a cavity configured to receive a pipe section;
the cavity defines a cavity axis and the hole defines a hole axis; and
the hole axis of the hole is perpendicular to the cavity axis of the cavity.
