The pipe coupling of claim 1, wherein the bottom surface of the fastener pad of a first end of the two ends is coplanar with the bottom surface of the fastener pad of a second end of the two ends when the at least one coupling segment is undeformed. 15. A coupling segment comprising: an outer surface;an inner surface;a first end;a second end;a first fastener pad protruding proximate to the first end, the first fastener pad including a parting line forming a first axially outermost edge offset from a top surface of the first fastener pad towards a bottom surface of the first fastener pad, the first axially outermost edge defining a first plane;a second fastener pad protruding proximate to the second end, the second fastener pad including a parting line forming a second axially outermost edge offset from a top surface of the second fastener pad towards a bottom surface of the second fastener pad, the second axially outermost edge defining a second plane, the second plane of the second fastener pad being coplanar with the first plane of the first fastener pad when the coupling segment is undeformed and the second plane of the second fastener pad being non-coplanar with the first plane of the first fastener pad when the coupling segment is tightened against a pipe;a groove defined in the inner surface and extending from the first of the two end; anda tongue extending from the second end, the tongue symmetrical about a plane oriented perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the coupling segment, the tongue sized to fit within a corresponding groove of a second coupling segment. 16. The coupling segment of claim 15, further comprising a parting line forming an outermost edge continuously around the segment and integral with the axially outermost edge of each fastener pad. 17. The coupling segment of claim 15, wherein a surface adjacent the top surface of each fastener pad slopes outwardly from the top surface of each fastener pad. 18. The coupling segment of claim 15, further comprising a groove in a second of the at least two ends of the segment. 19. The coupling segment of claim 15, wherein the bottom surface of the second fastener pad is coplanar with the bottom surface of the first fastener pad when the segment is undeformed.
