A pipe connector includes a housing body arranged to receive a length of pipe including an end section having an enlarged diameter. A locking member split into two or more segments selectively connectable together around the length of pipe outside the housing body. The locking member is configured to lock the length of pipe within the housing body. At least one sealing member is positionable on the length of pipe between the end section and the locking member. At least one sealing member is compressible inside the housing body between the enlarged diameter of the end section of the locking member. A retaining member is positionable on the length of pipe and attachable to the housing body. The retaining member can secure the locking member to the housing body such that the locking member fills a gap outside the housing body between the length of pipe and the retaining member.
