  • One form of known connector for example, comprises an olive and a plurality of threaded parts which can be assembled together and which, on assembly, force the olive into sealing contact with the pipe.
  • These connectors are easily loosened by mechanical vibration or thermal cycling, and are prone to leakage.

  • this connector can provide a good, leak-tight, push-fit connection, it still consists of several small individual parts and requires careful assembly.
  • tubular metal conduits for example, for carrying electrical wiring and cabling
  • a strong, but not necessarily fluid-tight, connection is required.
  • connections for such electrical conduits have required the provision of metal screw fittings which are either cast or injection moulded, and then machined. Such fittings are relatively costly to produce.
  • the present invention addresses the aforementioned considerations.
  • connector it is not meant that the connector is necessarily independent of the two or more items to be connected, rather, one or more of the items to be connected could comprise elements of the connector.
