Abstract: An expansion coupling and method of use for joining the ends of a pair of first and second conduits along a longitudinal axis. Each of the conduits is a tubular member of circular cross-section having an outside threaded leading end and an outside threaded trailing end. The coupling comprises an inner and outer sleeve. Both sleeves are elongated tubular members having a first end in the form of an internally threaded throat adapted to threadedly receive a respective threaded end of a respective conduit. The inner sleeve has a second end of a square outer periphery. The outer sleeve also has a second end of a square outer periphery. The second end of the inner sleeve is arranged for disposition within the second end of the outer sleeve to readily slide with respect thereto along the longitudinal axis, with the contiguous surfaces of the second ends of both sleeves preventing the rotation of the sleeves with respect to each other about the longitudinal axis.
