A joint restraint is provided for a curved pipe joint having a curved pipe section joining two adjacent pipe sections. The pipes are joined using tubular sleeves held by hose clamps to form fluid tight seals, with two clamps on each end of the curved pipe sections and two clamps on each proximal end of the adjacent pipe sections. An inner strap extends between and fastens to one of the clamps on each adjacent pipe section forming a chord of an arc. An outer strap extends along an outer periphery of the joined pipes and fastens to the other clamps on each adjacent pipe section. The straps are in a plane through a center of the flow path of the joined pipes
A pipe joint having a first flow path with a first centerline passing through a first adjacent pipe section, a pipe fitting and a second adjacent pipe section so the pipe fitting separates the adjacent pipe sections, each adjacent pipe section being sealingly joined to the pipe fitting by tubular seals, the joint comprising:
A kit for maintaining the position of pipe sections that are joined to a pipe fitting having a first flow path with a first centerline passing through first and second adjacent pipe sections during use, the pipe fitting separating the adjacent pipe sections during use, the kit comprising
A method of restraining movement of pipe sections sealingly joined to a pipe fitting by tubular seals, the pipe fitting having a first flow path with a first centerline through first and second adjacent pipe sections, the method comprising:
