Asc 390171007 Gruvlok Saddle Tee Fpt 2 in X 0.5 in Ductile Iron

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 390171007 is a Gruvlok 7045 painted saddle tee with a female pipe thread (FPT) outlet, designed for grooved piping systems in mechanical and plumbing applications. Sized at 2 inches by 0.5 inches, this fitting is cast from ductile iron and finished with a painted coating for corrosion resistance. Weighing 2.30 pounds, it provides a branch outlet connection off a grooved main pipe run without cutting and re-routing the main line. It is installed by licensed plumbers and mechanical contractors working on fire protection, HVAC hydronic, or industrial piping systems.

This saddle tee is used where a branch takeoff is needed from a 2-inch grooved main to a 0.5-inch female-threaded outlet. Typical installations include hydronic heating and cooling distribution systems, fire sprinkler branch lines, and general industrial fluid piping. The FPT outlet accepts standard male-threaded pipe or fittings, making it straightforward to transition to threaded subsystems from a grooved main.

Key Features

• Ductile iron construction for high strength in pressure piping systems
• Painted finish provides baseline corrosion protection
• FPT outlet transitions directly to standard threaded pipe or fittings
• 2 inches x 0.5 inches sizing suits common branch takeoff applications
• Grooved main connection compatible with standard Gruvlok groove-style coupling systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style grooved saddle tee fitting for use with standard grooved pipe coupling systems on 2-inch grooved main piping with a 0.5-inch FPT branch outlet.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or mechanical contractor in accordance with applicable IPC and local code requirements. Depressurize and drain the piping system completely before installing or removing any grooved fittings. Verify that the grooved pipe end meets the dimensional standards required for the coupling to seat correctly. Do not overtighten the FPT outlet connection; use appropriate thread sealant and follow standard threading practices.
