Explanation:
I'm giving a low confidence level because I can't honestly say I'm too sure what exactly is being referred to given the context, but.....

Compare the English/Hebrew pages of this pipe site:
English:

Hebrew:

...where it is referred to as a "socket joint". The last link is quite detailed and with the information at your disposal from the rest of your document you should hopefully be able to verify/falsify the finding and identify what you need.

muff or muffe (muffe/s)


Explanation:
I think what they mean is that muffs should not be added to the pipe unless the manufacturer's limitation for the length of the pipe merits adding a muff, which is a type of "שרוול".

Muff, as far as I know is German for sleeve, and sounds similar to מופה.

agree  Ty Kendall: I think you're more likely to be right here, never occured to me to question the "strangeness" of the sound of the word. On a side note, muff is a rather 'colourful' slang word in the UK which would've prevented me from posting it even had I found it :-)
