Abstract
A joint assembly comprising a first cup and a second cup for joining a first pipe and a second pipe. The first and the second pipes have an offset in a three-dimensional space having ‘x’, ‘y’, and ‘z’ dimensions, where the longitudinal axes of the first and the second pipes are in the ‘z’ dimension. The first cup and the second cup are adapted to join the first pipe with the second pipe by compensating for the offset in the ‘x’, ‘y’, and ‘z’ dimensions.
