Aegis Technologies Inc 90358080 Grooved Welding Outlet 8x8

Product Description

The AEGIS TECHNOLOGIES INC 90358080 is an 8 x 8 grooved welding outlet designed for use in piping systems that require a mechanical grooved connection at a branch takeoff point. This fitting is welded directly to a run pipe and accepts a grooved coupling at the outlet end, allowing for fast, tool-based assembly of branch connections without additional threading or flanging. It is sized at 8 x 8 inches, indicating both the run pipe diameter and the outlet diameter. Licensed pipefitters and mechanical contractors are the typical installers for this type of component in commercial and industrial piping systems.

Grooved welding outlets are commonly used in commercial fire suppression, HVAC hydronic piping, and industrial process piping where grooved-end mechanical joining systems are specified. This fitting is suited for systems requiring a full-size branch takeoff from a main pipe header. The 8 x 8 size designation makes it appropriate for large-diameter main line installations where maintaining full flow capacity at the branch is a design requirement. Verify run pipe wall thickness and material compatibility before installation.

Key Features

• Grooved outlet end accepts standard mechanical grooved couplings for tool-based assembly
• Weld-on design attaches directly to the run pipe for a rigid, permanent branch connection
• 8 x 8 size supports full-size branch takeoffs from large-diameter main piping
• Sold as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style grooved welding outlet for large-diameter commercial and industrial piping systems using mechanical grooved coupling connections. Verify run pipe diameter and wall schedule against fitting specifications before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or mechanical contractor familiar with welding procedures and grooved mechanical joining systems. Depressurize and drain the piping system fully before cutting or welding. Follow applicable codes including ASME B31.1 or B31.9 for weld procedures and the coupling manufacturer specifications for grooved joint assembly. Confirm pipe wall thickness is compatible with the grooving method used at the outlet end.
