Asc 386014435 Gruvlok Fpt Outlet Coupling 6x1 in Ductile Iron

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 386014435 is a Gruvlok 7042F painted female pipe thread (FPT) outlet coupling designed for grooved piping systems. This fitting provides a threaded branch outlet connection on a grooved pipe run, allowing techs to tap off a main line for instrumentation, drainage, or auxiliary piping connections. Constructed from ductile iron with a painted exterior finish, it is sized at 6 inches by 1 inch and weighs 18 pounds. It is installed by licensed pipefitters and mechanical contractors working on commercial and industrial piping systems where grooved mechanical joining is specified.

This outlet coupling fits into grooved mechanical piping assemblies commonly found in HVAC hydronic systems, fire protection, and industrial process piping. The 6-inch grooved main connection accommodates a 1-inch FPT branch outlet, making it suited for applications where a threaded accessory or instrument port is needed off a larger main. The painted finish provides a measure of corrosion resistance for interior installations. It is intended for use wherever the Gruvlok 7042F series outlet coupling is specified.

Key Features

• 6-inch grooved main by 1-inch FPT outlet configuration for branch connections off larger pipe mains
• Ductile iron construction for strength and durability in commercial and industrial service
• Painted exterior finish for corrosion protection in interior piping environments
• Gruvlok 7042F series design compatible with standard grooved mechanical coupling systems
• Weighs 18 pounds — appropriate for heavy-duty mechanical piping applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style grooved outlet coupling for use in Gruvlok-compatible grooved mechanical piping systems sized at 6 inches with a 1-inch FPT branch outlet.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or mechanical contractor. De-pressurize and drain the affected piping section completely before removing or installing any grooved fitting. Verify that the grooved pipe ends meet the dimensional requirements specified for the Gruvlok coupling system before assembly. Follow applicable mechanical and plumbing codes, including ASME and local authority having jurisdiction requirements, for pressure ratings and joint preparation.
