Asc 386014120 Gruvlok Fpt Outlet Coupling 3x1 Inch

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 386014120 is a Gruvlok 7042F painted female pipe thread (FPT) outlet coupling designed for grooved piping systems used in commercial and industrial mechanical applications. This coupling provides a threaded branch outlet connection on a grooved main pipe, allowing trades to tap off a run of grooved pipe with a standard FPT threaded connection. Constructed from ductile iron and finished with a painted exterior for corrosion resistance, the fitting measures 3 inches by 1 inch and weighs 7.90 pounds. It is installed by licensed pipefitters and mechanical contractors working on fire protection, HVAC hydronic, or industrial process piping systems.

This outlet coupling is suited for commercial and industrial installations where a grooved main line requires a female-threaded branch takeoff. The 3-inch grooved end connects to the main pipe run via a standard Gruvlok mechanical coupling, while the 1-inch FPT outlet accepts a threaded pipe, nipple, or fitting. Typical applications include hydronic heating and cooling distribution, fire suppression systems, and process piping where grooved-to-threaded transitions are required.

Key Features

• Ductile iron construction for strength and durability in pressurized piping systems
• Painted exterior finish provides baseline corrosion protection
• 3-inch grooved main connection compatible with standard grooved mechanical couplings
• 1-inch FPT outlet for direct connection to threaded pipe or fittings
• Grooved-to-threaded transition eliminates the need for additional adapter fittings

Compatibility

Designed for use with Gruvlok grooved piping systems where a 3-inch grooved main line requires a 1-inch female pipe thread branch outlet. Intended for use with standard grooved mechanical couplings sized for 3-inch pipe.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or mechanical contractor in accordance with applicable mechanical codes and the manufacturer's installation guidelines. Depressurize and drain the piping system fully before cutting into an existing line or removing any existing couplings. Verify that the grooved pipe end meets the groove dimensions specified for Gruvlok grooved couplings before assembly. Apply an appropriate thread sealant to all FPT connections per local code requirements.
