Forming apparatus (1) for forming a bell joint with a sealing gasket on an end of a plastic pipe comprises a mandrel (2) provided with a front portion (4), insertable longitudinally into a pipe end (51) of a plastic pipe (50), and a rear portion (5) for receiving a sealing gasket (10). Sectors (3) provided between the front and rear portions (4, 5) can move radially between an extended configuration (E) and a retracted configuration (F in fig.4). In the extended configuration, the sectors (3) have an external radial dimension (D1) equal to or greater than the external radial dimension (D2) of the sealing gasket (10). In use, the sectors (3) abut and radially expand a front edge of said pipe end (51) and guide it over said sealing gasket (10), preventing it from being crushed when the mandrel (2) is inserted in said pipe end (51).

A pipe made of plastics includes a female end with a bell joint suitable to receive a male end of another pipe and an inner wall with a seat for a gasket suitable to abut an external wall of the male end. When the pipe and other pipe are connected, a joint is formed having a hydraulic seal. The inner wall of the bell joint has at least one closing lip with an annular shape, which extends towards the inside of the bell joint, towards an external front edge of the bell joint, and includes an abutment edge, which adheres to, and tightens with a predefined force, the external wall of the male end. The closing lip is interposed between the external front edge and the seat and forms, with the inner wall, an annular cavity that opens in the direction of the external front edge.
