A pipe fitting cup, also known as a coupling cup or pipe cup, is a cylindrical plumbing component designed to connect or terminate pipes. Typically made from durable materials like stainless steel, brass, or plastic, it features a hollow interior that fits over the pipe end, secured by threading, compression, or welding. The design often includes a tapered or flared opening to ensure a tight seal, with some variants having integrated gaskets or O - rings for leak prevention.
Description
A pipe fitting cup, also known as a coupling cup or pipe cup, is a cylindrical plumbing component designed to connect or terminate pipes. Typically made from durable materials like stainless steel, brass, or plastic, it features a hollow interior that fits over the pipe end, secured by threading, compression, or welding. The design often includes a tapered or flared opening to ensure a tight seal, with some variants having integrated gaskets or O - rings for leak prevention. Engineered to industry standards (e.g., ANSI, ISO), it accommodates different pipe sizes and materials, offering versatility in installation. Its robust structure withstands high pressure and corrosion, making it suitable for both residential and industrial use. The cup’s surface may be coated for added protection, and it can be customized for specific applications like fire suppression or chemical transport.

Applications:
Pipe fitting cups are widely used in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. In residential settings, they connect water supply pipes, repair leaks, or terminate unused pipe ends. In industrial sectors like oil & gas and manufacturing, they secure pipes in high - pressure systems, while HVAC applications use them for air duct connections. They also serve in fire sprinkler systems to join pipes and in agricultural irrigation for water distribution. Their adaptability makes them essential for the quick assembly and maintenance of piping networks across diverse industries.
Advantages:
Pipe fitting cups offer easy installation, reducing labor time with simple threading or compression methods. Their secure seal prevents leaks, ensuring system reliability in high - pressure environments. Made from corrosion - resistant materials, they endure harsh conditions, minimizing maintenance costs. The cups’ standardization allows compatibility with various pipes, while their compact design saves space in tight layouts. This combination of durability, ease of use, and cost - efficiency makes them a preferred choice for both temporary repairs and permanent pipe connections.
