A pipe joint comprising:
- a first pipe;
- a second pipe located adjacent said first pipe, wherein one of the first pipe and second pipe comprises an annular groove;
- and,
- a gasket positioned within the annular groove and adapted to provide a seal between the first pipe and the second pipe, said gasket comprising:
- an annular gasket body formed of a resilient material, said gasket body including a base, at least one foot protruding from the base and at least one head portion protruding from the base.
A gasket for sealing between a pair of pipes, said gasket comprising an annular gasket body formed of a resilient material, said gasket body comprising:
- a body section;
- a first foot;
- a second foot, wherein said second foot is spaced from said first foot;

- and,
- a second head portion, wherein said second head portion is spaced from said first head portion.
A gasket for positioning within an annular groove located in one of an outer pipe and an inner pipe, the gasket providing a seal between the outer pipe and the inner pipe, the gasket comprising an annular gasket body formed of a resilient material, said gasket body comprising:
- a body section;
- at least one foot protruding away from said body section in a first direction;
- at least one head protruding away from said body section in a second, and opposite, direction;
- wherein said at least one foot is meant to be imbedded in a material of the associated inner or outer pipe;
