Haven't been able to find this term anywhere...previously mentioned pipes and/or joints were opened with a chainsaw, torn or deteriorating...any ideas? suggestions?
Explanation: A bilingual website (see below) used "loackable". In pipes, this is an arrangement whereby the joints are equipped with an elastomer fitting that makes welding unnecessary.

Thanks to you all...hard to choose! Also found "lockable" after a bit of a google search for bilingual web sites so I'll go with that - I don't have enough context to go with a more specific term anyway. Thanks again! 4 KudoZ points were awarded for this answer

Hex-nut fittings which have had the bevel-seat regrooved to use self-positioning gaskets and form joints with a substantially smooth, flush interior surface are acceptable as CIP fittings.
However, when such fittings are used, it is extremely important that any conventional hex-nut, bevel seat fittings are dismantled for hand cleaning [www.ams.usda.gov/dairy/page_a.pdf]
Possibly also "self-sealing gasket" or "self-locking gasket", "self-aligning gasket", all of which you will find on the Ouèbe.
