Asc 390171015 Gruvlok Fpt Branch Outlet 2x3/4 in Ductile Iron

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 390171015 is a Gruvlok 7045 FPT branch outlet fitting designed for grooved piping systems. It uses a U-bolt nut assembly to create a female pipe thread branch connection off a grooved main pipe. The fitting is manufactured from ductile iron, giving it the strength and durability required for mechanical piping applications in commercial and industrial settings. Sized at 2 inches by 3/4 inch, it accommodates a 2-inch grooved main run with a 3/4-inch FPT branch takeoff. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this component as part of grooved mechanical coupling systems.

This fitting is suited for commercial plumbing, fire protection, and mechanical piping systems that use grooved-end components. It provides a branch outlet connection where a threaded side port is required off a larger grooved main line. The 7045 configuration is a recognized style within grooved mechanical piping, making it a common choice on new construction and retrofit projects where grooved systems are already in place. It is appropriate for indoor wet piping applications consistent with the pressure and temperature ratings of ductile iron grooved fittings.

Key Features

• Ductile iron construction for high-strength, pressure-rated mechanical piping service
• 2 inch grooved main by 3/4 inch FPT branch outlet configuration
• U-bolt nut assembly for secure mechanical attachment to the grooved pipe
• 7045 pattern compatible with standard grooved mechanical coupling systems
• Female pipe thread branch port accepts standard threaded pipe or fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for grooved mechanical piping systems requiring a 2-inch grooved main with a 3/4-inch female pipe thread branch outlet.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and NFPA standards. Depressurize and drain the piping system fully before disassembling or installing any grooved fitting. Confirm the grooved pipe end meets the dimensional requirements for the coupling used with this outlet. Inspect the U-bolt nuts and seating surface for damage before torquing to the coupling manufacturer specification.
