Abstract

A coupling (10) for a threaded and coupled connector used to secure the ends of the tubular pipe sections together comprising a tubular coupling body (11) with axially extending, internally threaded areas (11a, 11b) at each end of the body (11). Tapering external surfaces (11h, 11f) are formed on the body (11) which extend from a central portion of the body (11) toward each end of the body (11) and reduce in diameter in an axial direction from the central portion. The taper length (11h, 11f) is functionally related to the minimum outside diameter of a pipe section (12) to which the coupling is to connect.
