    摘要: A pipe connector for connecting pipe together. In a preferred embodiment, the receptacle of the connector is mounted in the wall of a watertight underwater cellar and is provided with a cap on the interior of the cellar. A cable runs through this cap to a winch. The other end of the cable is connected to a pipeline lead plug which, when pulled into the receptacle, makes a sealing fit with its interior. The lead plug is connected to a pipeline lying on the ocean floor. Special stepped design of the receptacle and the plug prevents misalignment as the plug is pulled into the receptacle. A support ring surrounds the underwater cellar just below the receptacle for aiding in relieving the strain on the lead plug as it enters the receptacle.
