Sized at 3 inches by 1 inch, this ductile iron fitting connects a 1-inch FPT branch outlet to a 3-inch grooved main pipe. It ships factory-painted to provide basic corrosion resistance during storage and installation. Weighing 2.51 pounds, this fitting is a standard component used by pipefitters and mechanical contractors when adding branch connections to existing or new grooved piping runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 390171148 saddle tee is suited for use in hydronic heating and cooling systems, fire protection piping, and general mechanical piping where grooved-end main pipe is specified. It is installed on 3-inch grooved pipe and accepts a 1-inch female pipe thread branch connection for instrumentation, drain, vent, or small-bore service lines. This fitting is appropriate for both new construction and retrofit branch tie-in work on grooved piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGruvlok 7045 saddle tee configuration for grooved main pipe with FPT branch outlet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-inch main pipe size with 1-inch FPT outlet for branch connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDuctile iron construction for strength and durability in mechanical piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFactory-painted finish provides basic surface protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFPT outlet accepts standard threaded fittings, valves, or instrumentation connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style grooved piping fitting for use with 3-inch grooved-end pipe in mechanical, HVAC, and fire protection piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or qualified mechanical contractor in accordance with applicable codes including ASME B31.9 for building services piping. Depressurize and drain the piping system fully before installing or modifying any branch connection. Verify that the grooved pipe end meets the dimensional requirements for the Gruvlok coupling system before assembly. Do not overtighten the FPT branch connection, as ductile iron threads can be damaged by excessive torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches x 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ductile Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Female Pipe Thread (FPT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Painted\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.51 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASC Engineered Solutions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 390171148\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233887093042,"sku":"0390171148","price":70.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307627661.jpg?v=1780111262","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-390171148-gruvlok-saddle-tee-3x1-inch-fpt-ductile-iron","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
