The Hub and Spigot are two types of fitting on either end of a pipe.

At one end you have the Hub (Socket) fitting; which is a "female" end of a fitting designed to accept pipe or a SPIGOT connector.

At the other end you have the Spigot fitting; which is a "male" end of a fitting designed to be used inside another fittings Socket (or Hub) end.

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. The terms "no-hub" or "hubless" refers to the pipes end. 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.

What is a hub connection in plumbing?

A hub connection in plumbing refers to a type of joint where a pipe fits into a larger fitting or hub, typically using a hub that has a circular opening. This design allows for a secure and snug fit, often used in drain, waste, and vent systems. Hub connections can be sealed using various methods, such as solvent cement for PVC pipes or rubber gaskets for cast iron systems, ensuring a tight seal to prevent leaks. They are commonly found in both residential and commercial plumbing applications.
