Is no hub cast iron pipe the same as service weight cast iron pipe?
No-hub cast iron pipe is the same as hubless cast iron pipe. Both are terms used to identify a type of grey iron pipe that is manufactured for use in DWV and storm drainage applications.

In contrast to "service weight" pipe, no - hub has no hub on the end and is joined using a no-hub coupling comprised of a 316 stainless steel shield with worm gears and a neoprene gasket. No hub pipe is manufactured to meet ASTM A 888 and CISPI (Cast Iron Soil Pipe Institute) 301 standards. To verify compliance you should use no - hub pipe and fittings bearing the NSF-upc (National Sanitation Foundation) mark.
