Abstract: A pipe coupling comprising an elastomeric sleeve, a support sleeve and adjustable clamping bands is provided. Each band has adjustment means comprising a bolt allowing the bands to provide a secure fit on the ends of the pipes to be coupled. The support sleeve comprises contact sections at either end and a compensation section therebetween. The first contact section of the support sleeve is for fitting around a larger pipe than the second contact section. The second contact portion and the compensation section are comprised of fingers of sheet material defined by axial slots therebetween. The elastomeric sleeve comprises a substantially tubular body and end sections provided at each end of the body. The end sections can be folded back over the outer surface of the body to provide circumferential flaps. Each flap defines a partially enclosed channel within which the contact sections of the support sleeve are provided.
