Claim 9:
10. A corrugated piping assembly for use in an irrigation system for bridging between different pipe sections and/or irrigation appliances, the corrugated piping assembly comprising:
a corrugated pipe section having a pipe proximal end and an opposite, pipe distal end;
a first connector having first and second connector ends; and
a first sleeve having a sleeve axis (X) and first and second sleeve ends, the sleeve comprising an internal through going passage and an internal face surrounding the passage, the internal face tapering inward in a direction from the first sleeve end to the second sleeve end; wherein:
the first connector end is located inside the pipe proximal end, while the second connector end remains outside of the pipe proximal end;
the first sleeve overlays the pipe proximal end where the first connector end is located, with the first sleeve end located between the pipe proximal end and the pipe distal end; and
the first sleeve is configured to press inwardly against the pipe proximal end, such that the pipe proximal end is pressed against at least a portion of the first connector end such that the pipe is axially and radially fixed to the connector, thereby forming a first coupling region of the corrugated piping assembly.
