The fitting features a female pipe thread (FPT) outlet and is constructed from ductile iron for strength and durability under pressure. At 2-1\/2 inches on the run and 1\/2 inch on the outlet, this saddle tee mounts directly to an existing grooved pipe to create a branch takeoff without cutting the main line. A painted exterior finish provides basic corrosion resistance for typical mechanical room and commercial piping environments. Licensed pipefitters and plumbing mechanics install this fitting in HVAC hydronic systems, fire protection piping, and industrial process lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis saddle tee is used in commercial and industrial grooved piping installations where a branch connection is needed off a 2-1\/2 inch grooved main. The FPT outlet accepts a standard threaded nipple or valve, making it suitable for instrument taps, drain ports, air vents, and small-diameter branch lines. Typical applications include chilled water, condenser water, and heating hot water distribution systems using Gruvlok-compatible grooved coupling systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDuctile iron construction for high strength and impact resistance in pressurized piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-1\/2 in run x 1\/2 in outlet size for branch takeoff on grooved main lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFPT outlet accepts standard threaded fittings, valves, and instruments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePainted exterior finish for basic corrosion protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrooved-system compatible design for use with standard grooved couplings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation saddle tee for grooved piping systems accepting a 2-1\/2 inch grooved main with a 1\/2 inch FPT branch outlet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or plumbing mechanic familiar with grooved piping systems. Depressurize and drain the affected piping section before installing or servicing this fitting. Ensure the grooved pipe end meets dimensional standards for proper coupling engagement.
