Abstract:
A pipe coupling, the pipe coupling consisting of:an elongated housing having a first end and a second end, the housing defining an elongated cylindrical bore therein; a stop located on an inner diameter of the housing, the stop located between the first end and the second end of the housing, wherein a distance from the stop to the first end of the housing is at least two times a distance from the stop to the second end of the housing; a first cylindrical bore extending from the first end to the stop; a second cylindrical bore extending from the second end to the stop; a third cylindrical bore which is at an approximate 90 degree angle to the first and second cylindrical bores; and wherein a distance from the second end of the housing to the third cylindrical bore is greater than a distance from the first end of the housing to the third cylindrical bore, and the first and second cylindrical bores are configured to allow a pipe end to advance into the pipe coupling until reaching the stop.
