Connectors for attaching a composite pipe to a service member are
described herein. In one embodiment, a connector can include a service
end, a slip nut, a slip, a seal carrier, and an energy conductor. The
slip nut can be disposed about the outer surface of the pipe and can be
engaged by the service end. The slip can be positioned about the outer
surface of the pipe and can be engaged by the service end and the slip
nut to compress the slip into gripping contact with the pipe. The seal
carrier can be positioned in a bore of the pipe at a location radially
opposite the slip to resist deformation of the pipe when the slip is
compressed into gripping contact with the pipe. The energy conductor can
be embedded within and surrounded by a material of the service end for
connection with an energy conductor within the composite pipe.
