Abstract: A connector for interconnecting two open-ended, generally aligned conduits comprises a sealing unit movably connected to a toggle mechanism. The connector is lowered by a simple tool between the conduit ends until yokes of the toggle mechanism move inwardly to engage the flanges of the conduit ends to align further the conduits. Clamps interconnected by tension rods pivot downwardly to clamp the conduit ends against the sealing unit. Tubular seals within the sealing unit are then moved outwardly to engage with the conduit ends by further toggle arrangements actuated by downward movement of a bar.
