  • Patent number: 5524935
    Abstract: A coupling for connecting a pair of pipe ends together. The inventive device includes a main body having a mounting aperture for securing to a first pipe end and a hollow interior which receives a telescoping tube therewithin. A seal is releasably positioned within a circumferential seal mounting groove formed along an interior surface of the main body and engages a seal mounting groove formed along the telescoping tube during a positioning of the telescoping tube within the main body. Once engaged to the seal, the telescoping tube can be slidably positioned within the main body to desired position, with the seal precluding a passage of fluid across a juncture of the telescoping tube and the main body. The telescoping tube can be extended from the main body to couple with a second pipe end positioned a predetermined and fixed distance away from the first pipe end to fluidly couple the pipe ends together.
