A novel design for the connection of lengths of polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
casing. Each length of casing has a male end and a female end. The female
end has a narrowing interior diameter with its wider interior diameter at
its outermost end sufficient to receive the male end of similar length of
casing for connection. The diameter of the female end narrows to a
diameter which is less than the outer diameter of the male end. The male
end has a lip at its leading edge and is slotted and compressible when
forced through the narrowed diameter of the female end. A groove in the
interior surface of the female end is sufficient to receive the lip at
the leading edge of the male end. When the lip at the leading edge of the
male end reaches the groove, it allows the compressed male end to expand
with the groove receiving the lip therein. The connected lengths of
casing are locked together in this manner.
