Asc 390171072 Gruvlok Saddle Tee 2.5x0.75 in Fpt Ductile Iron

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 390171072 is a Gruvlok painted saddle tee fitting designed for grooved piping systems requiring a branch outlet connection. Built from ductile iron and finished with a painted exterior for corrosion resistance, this fitting measures 2.5 inches by 0.75 inches and features a female pipe thread (FPT) outlet. It is used to introduce a branch tap off an existing grooved main line, making it a common component in fire protection, HVAC hydronic, and industrial piping distribution systems. Installation is typically performed by licensed pipefitters or mechanical contractors working with grooved-pipe infrastructure.

This saddle tee is suited for applications where a branch connection must be added to a 2.5-inch grooved pipe run, with the 0.75-inch FPT outlet accepting a threaded pipe or fitting. It is commonly found in commercial and industrial mechanical systems including chilled water, heating hot water, and fire suppression distribution piping. The painted finish is appropriate for interior dry or semi-exposed installations.

Key Features

• Ductile iron construction for high strength in pressurized piping systems
• Painted exterior finish provides baseline corrosion protection
• FPT outlet allows direct threaded branch connections without additional adapters
• Grooved main-line interface is compatible with standard Gruvlok grooved coupling systems
• Compact saddle-tee geometry suits tight mechanical room layouts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style grooved piping component for use with 2.5-inch grooved pipe systems using Gruvlok-standard groove dimensions and a 0.75-inch FPT branch outlet.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or mechanical contractor familiar with grooved piping systems. Depressurize and drain the pipe section fully before installing or removing any grooved fitting. Follow the applicable mechanical and plumbing codes, including IPC provisions, for branch connections in pressurized systems. Do not exceed the pressure rating of the weakest component in the assembled joint.
