Abstract
A coupling system for plumbing applications including stub-ups in a poured slab. The coupling system includes a coupler and a cap. The coupler provides a glue-hub that is couplable to a stub-up. An opposite end of the coupler is enclosed by a knock-out disc that seals the end of the stub-up for pressure testing. A second glue-hub is provided beneath the knock-out disc. The cap includes a cap plate enclosing a top end thereof and is height adjustable on the coupler. A thermal expansion gap between the slab and the stub-up is provided by a sleeve positionable around the cap. The cap plate and the knock-out disc are 'knocked out' to enable connection with the plumbing system and are sized to resist falling into the stub-up. An air purging valve may be installed in the coupler for pressure testing prior to removing the knock-out discs in the cap and coupler.
