Fitting holder

A fitting holder (1) designed for receiving a branch pipe (20) during a welding operation in order to attach the branch pipe (20) to a pipeline (21) or a pipe (21), wherein differently dimensioned branch pipes (20) can be alternately received by the fitting holder (1), comprising a hollow-cylindrical housing (2) with an upper region (3) which, during the welding, faces away from the pipeline (21) to be welded thereto, and a lower region (4) which, during the welding, faces the pipeline (21) to be welded thereto, wherein mounts (5) for the axial fixing of the branch pipe (20) which can be received by the fitting holder (1) are arranged in the lower region (4), a ring (6) arranged displaceably in the housing (2), and at least one clamping element (7) pressing the ring (6) downwards, wherein the fitting holder (1) has a plurality of different guides of different inside diameters (8, 9, 14) which alternately guide the differently dimensioned branch pipes (20) by way of their differently dimensioned outside diameters in the fitting holder (1).
