Abstract: A pipe connection system comprising interconnection elements and flow elements is presented. The interconnection elements of the system contain a cylindrical surface in which is formed an annular locking groove. The annular locking groove of is generally of the same radius of curvature as another, oppositely directed or mirror image, annular locking groove formed in the flow elements. When either a flow element is inserted into a flow passage of an interconnection element, an alignment feature controls the insertion depth of flow element into the interconnection element such that the annular locking groove of the flow element aligns with the oppositely curved annular locking groove of the interconnection element to form a locking annulus.
