Summary:TITLE Pipe Joints A pipe joint consists of a sleeve (2) surrounding a socket chamber (3) for receiving a spigot (5). A gland (9) extends into the socket chamber (3) against a heel portion (12) of a sealing ring (7). Axial movement of the gland (9) forces the sealing ring (7) and causes a leading nose portion (14) of the sealing ring (7) to be deflected radially inwardly by the internal profile of the sleeve (2) against the external surface of the spigot or pipe end (5), thereby forming a seal. The heel portion (12) of the seal ring (7) maintains substantially the same radial position in the socket (3).
