The coupling also includes a double-walled socket (4), which includes a female outer socket (17) and a male inner shaft (18). The pipe end fitting is partially accommodated in the region between the female outer socket and the male inner shaft of the double-walled socket. A first seal ring (9) seals between the female inner surface of the pipe end fitting (1) and the male inner shaft (18) of the double-walled socket (4). A second seal ring (10) which may be substantially coplanar with the first, seals between the male outer surface of the pipe end fitting (1) and the female outer socket (17) of the double-walled socket (4).
