How To Use Piping Tips With Coupler

The two parts of the coupler are the base and the ring.

How to use piping tips with coupler. Push the piping tip down into the bag so that the opening of the tip protrudes through the hole in the bag. Cut the bag youre using just above the tip. You can use icing tips with no couplers just push the tip inside the bag and cut the end off allowing just the end of the tip.

Push the coupler back down through this hole until the hole lines up with the beginning of the couplers threaded lines. Screw the ring on to hold the tip in place. Just place the tip directly into the bag.

Drop the base of the coupler to the end of the decorating bag. Push the coupler up and cut the bag at the marked line. If you dont plan on changing tips you can put the tip directly in the bag but I ALWAYS use a coupler.

It is easier to grab the end of the coupler than a tip that is snug in the pastry bag. Use a pair of scissors to mark a spot on the bag about inch before the first thread on the narrow end of the coupler. A coupler is a two-part small plastic nozzle that fits inside a piping bag so that you can change icing tips with ease.

This helps secure the piping bag in place. In this video I demonstrate how to use the tri-color russian piping tip coupler that came with your piping tips set. Grab the ring and screw it back onto the coupler securing the decorating tip in place.

Next prepare your different icing colors in smaller bags without tips. You can then place the smaller bags inside the larger bag and switch them out when you want to change colors or tips. Make sure the tip is straight and secure.
