of unplasticized pvc compound of conventional form sealing gasket 3 preferably is a solid annular gasket of circular cross section of epdm ethylene propylene diene monomere rubber having a hardness of 55 durometer other sealing gaskets may be used for example sealing gasket 3 could have an annular cavity positioned approximate the center of the circular body or it could be a closed cell foam of an elastomeric material while a urethane bedding material is preferred other materials may be useful for example a hot melt adhesive may be used the important characteristics of bedding material 14 should be kept in mind specifically bedding material 14 must be in a fluid state long enough to permit the embedding of reinforcement material 15 and the placement of the sealing gasket 3 during this fluid state in order to permit intimate setting of the sealing gasket 3 preferably bedding material 14 in its cured state has a hardness which is less than that of the pvc material making up the body of pipe section 1 also bedding material 14 should have a hardness which is greater than or equal to that of the sealing gasket 3 at the very least however bedding.
