A B S T R A C T A frictional and sealing joint to form a connection between a male member such as a rod or tube and a female member in which the male member is inserted. A sleeve surrounds the male member. The sleeve has a main portion with an axially concave inner surface and which is made of resilient flexible material. Means are provided to compress the sleeve on the male member to deform the concave inner surface so that the latter becomes substantially straight and makes frictional contact with the male member over substantially the total length of the sleeve. The sleeve has a nose portion at one and having axially convex inner and outer surfaces engageable respectively with the outer surface of the male member and with an inclined surface provided in the female member. An axially adjustable tightening member acts on the compression means and axially displaces the sleeve and its nose portion so as to effect not only frictional contact of the sleeve with the male member but also sealing contact of the nose portion with the female and male members.
