MJ stands for Mechanical Joint. It is a type of compression joint designed for underground connection for pipe, valves and fittings. Mechanical joints allow for some deflection of the joint.

The "original" modern pipe joint, dating back to 1925, is known as the Mechanical Joint. It primarily connects fittings, valves, and similar appurtenances to a pipeline. The nuts, bolts, and gland featured in the joint create a permanent watertight seal capable of withstanding pressures of up to 350 psi and more.

The Mechanical Joint (MJ) Lock Joint can be used with mechanical joint pipes, fittings, and valves as a means of creating a restrained joint when a mechanical joint connection has been specified. One MJ gland is used to secure the gasket and create a watertight seal, while the second MJ gland is used for joint restraint.

In this article, you’ll learn the fundamentals of a mechanical joint connection, the use of flanges, and receive guidance on when to use a mechanical joint vs. a flange. A mechanical joint, sometimes referred to as MJ, is a compression joint designed for underground connections for pipes, valves, and fittings.
