A pipe fitting having a base configured to engage with a pipe, the base having a mounting seat configured to engage directly with the pipe, a base ring configured to engage with the mounting seat, and a base flange configured to engage with the base ring, a top hat configured to engage with the base, the top hat having a top cap, a top hat ring configured to engage with the top cap, and a top hat flange configured to engage with the top hat ring, wherein the top hat flange is further configured to engage with the base flange to form a fitting cavity. A pipe flow controller may be in fluid communication with the internal pipe volume through a threaded nipple, while also being securely housed within the fitting cavity, thus protecting the pipe flow controller from corrosion, impacts and other forms of damage to prevent leakage.
