Hooked pipe coupling segment

A pipe coupling segment comprising:

• an arcuate body portion defining a first end, a second end opposite the first end, a first axial side, and a second axial side opposite the first axial side;
• a hook extending from the first end of the arcuate body portion, wherein the hook defines a shank portion and a bend portion, the shank portion extending in a substantially radially outward direction from the arcuate body portion and the bend portion extending in a substantially axial direction from the shank portion;
• a stabilizer rib extending in a substantially radially outward direction from the first end, the stabilizer rib formed monolithically with a bottom side of the hook and configured to support the hook under stress, wherein the bend portion of the hook is disposed radially outward of the stabilizer rib;
• and
• a fastener lug extending from the second end of the arcuate body portion;
• wherein:
• the stabilizer rib extends from the first end at an axial body center of the arcuate body portion;
• the axial body center is defined substantially midway between the first axial side and the second axial side;
• the stabilizer rib extends to an axial bend center of the bend portion;
• the axial bend center is defined substantially midway between a connected end of the bend portion connected to the shank portion and a distal free end of the bend portion;
• and
• the stabilizer rib and the bend portion together substantially define a T-shape.
