TITLE OF THE INVENTION "Improvements in or relating to pipe couplings" ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A pipe coupling is disclosed in which two identical tubular parts, to receive pipe ends, each have a flange at one end thereof and are held together, via their flanges, by a clamping ring which has a radially inwardly facing groove which receives the flanges. Each flange on its side remote from the other flange slopes outwardly from the peri- phery of the tubular part towards said one end thereof pro- viding a ramp surface engaged by the free edge of a respec- tive one of the two side walls of the inwardly facing groove of the clamping ring so that a circumferential tension in the clamping ring produces a wedging action urging the flanges into engagement with each other. In a variant each of the two tubular parts is angled with respect to its end flange so that by adjusting the tubular parts relative to each other about the common axes of their flanges, the angle bet- ween the axes of the main portions of the tubular parts can be adjusted, thus providing a pipe bend of adjustable angle.
