Abstract: A mechanical pipe joint assembly is provided that connects pipes of different diameters. The mechanical pipe joint assembly includes an annular pipe socket end with an annular cavity located adjacent thereto. A gasket includes first and second sections. The first section includes an arcuate head and an abutment adjacent the arcuate head. The second section includes a lip extension located adjacent the abutment of the first section. The arcuate head of the first portion of the gasket is configured to be circumscribed in the annular cavity of the annular pipe socket. The lip extension of the gasket is configured to be located underneath a tab on a gland portion of the joint assembly and configured to fill space underneath the tab and above the pipe wall.

Abstract: A joint restraint assembly illustratively includes a substantially annular body that includes an opening disposed there through to fit around the pipe. Two or more pockets that each receive a segment configured to engage a portion of the outside surface of the pipe. The segments are spaced apart from each other. A portion of the substantially annular body extends toward the opening between each of the segments to occupy space between the segments to inhibit deformation of the pipe at the joint restraint assembly.
