Asc 386014237 Gruvlok Fpt Outlet Coupling 4x1 in Ductile Iron

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 386014237 is a Gruvlok 7042F painted female pipe thread (FPT) outlet coupling designed for grooved piping systems. This fitting provides a threaded branch outlet on a grooved pipe run, allowing a threaded pipe or fitting to connect directly at the outlet port. Constructed from ductile iron and finished with a painted coating for corrosion resistance, this coupling is sized at 4 inches by 1 inch. It is installed by licensed pipefitters, mechanical contractors, and plumbing professionals working on commercial or industrial piping systems.

This outlet coupling is suited for commercial and industrial piping installations where a grooved mechanical joining system interfaces with a threaded branch connection. The 4-inch grooved end accommodates standard grooved pipe, while the 1-inch FPT outlet accepts a corresponding male-threaded fitting or pipe. Typical applications include fire protection, HVAC hydronic systems, and general mechanical piping where a grooved-to-threaded transition at a branch point is required.

Key Features

• Ductile iron construction provides strength and durability in pressurized piping systems
• Painted exterior finish for added corrosion protection
• 4-inch grooved run by 1-inch FPT outlet configuration for grooved-to-threaded branch connections
• Gruvlok 7042F product series for compatibility with standard grooved mechanical coupling systems
• Weighs 7 pounds — a solid, full-iron fitting suitable for commercial service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style grooved outlet fitting for use with standard grooved mechanical piping systems accepting 4-inch grooved pipe and 1-inch female pipe thread branch connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or mechanical contractor in accordance with applicable mechanical and plumbing codes. De-pressurize and drain the piping system before removing or installing any grooved fitting. Ensure the pipe groove dimensions meet the manufacturer specifications for the coupling being used. Verify FPT thread engagement meets standard pipe thread depth requirements before applying system pressure.
