u03b2 u201d with respect to the central axis 145 of the female belled pipe end in other words the angle u201c u03b2 u201d is not perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 145 where the gripping elements are provided with for example two rows of teeth one row will typically be taller than the other row while the elastomer body portion of the sealing and restraint system is shown in one form in fig6 and 7 it will be appreciated that it may take other forms as well for example rather than a combined compression and lip seal design as shown in fig6 and 7 the gasket body could be more of a traditional u201c c shaped u201d gasket 147 in fig8 having a generally c shaped cross section such c shaped gasket designs are known and commercially available see for example the victaulic c shaped gasket for water sewer and drain fittings sold by victaulic corporation of easton pa in the case of the c shaped gasket shown in fig8 however a plurality of gripping segments 149 are located on the underside of the gasket in a channel formed between the edges thereof the segments 149 in fig8 have at least one row of gripping teeth 151 on the inner planar surfaces thereof with the c shaped gasket hydrostatic pressure acts to assist in the ultimate sealing action making the gasket pressure responsive the operation of the sealing and restraint system of the invention will now be briefly described the system will typically be utilized with a fluid piping system which includes one or.
