Abstract
A fitting holder designed for receiving a branch pipe during a welding operation in order to attach the branch pipe to a pipeline or a pipe, wherein differently dimensioned branch pipes can be received by the fitting holder, comprising a hollow-cylindrical housing with an upper region which, during the welding, faces away from the pipeline to be welded thereto, and a lower region which, during the welding, faces the pipeline to be welded thereto, wherein mounts for the axial fixing of the branch pipe which can be received by the fitting holder are arranged in the lower region, a ring arranged displaceably in the housing, and clamping elements pressing the ring downwards, wherein the fitting holder has different guide inside diameters which guide the differently dimensioned branch pipes by way of their differently dimensioned outside diameters in the fitting holder.
