Asc 390171155 Gruvlok Saddle Tee Fpt 3 in X 1-1/4 in Ductile Iron

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 390171155 is a Gruvlok 7045 painted saddle tee with a female pipe thread (FPT) outlet, designed for use in grooved piping systems. This ductile iron fitting measures 3 inches on the run with a 1-1/4 inch FPT branch outlet and weighs 4.04 pounds. It is used to add a threaded branch connection to an existing grooved pipe run without cutting into the main line for a full tee. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this fitting in fire protection, HVAC hydronic, and industrial piping applications where a reliable branch takeoff is required.

The 7045 saddle tee is suited for both commercial and industrial piping systems that use grooved-end pipe. It is particularly common in fire suppression systems, chilled water loops, and heating hot water distribution where a grooved main run needs a threaded branch outlet. The FPT outlet allows direct connection of threaded valves, gauges, sprinkler heads, or instrumentation without additional adapters.

Key Features

• Ductile iron construction provides strength and durability in demanding piping environments
• 3 inches x 1-1/4 inches configuration fits standard grooved pipe runs with a reduced branch outlet
• FPT branch outlet accepts standard threaded pipe, valves, or fittings directly
• Painted exterior finish provides corrosion resistance for typical indoor and covered installations
• Gruvlok 7045 series saddle tee design for secure, repeatable grooved system assembly

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for grooved piping systems using 3-inch grooved pipe with a 1-1/4-inch threaded branch outlet.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or plumber familiar with grooved mechanical piping systems. Depressurize and drain the piping system fully before installing or servicing any grooved fitting. Follow the fitting manufacturer's assembly instructions for proper gasket seating and bolt torque procedures outlined in the Gruvlok installation documentation. Local mechanical and fire protection codes, including NFPA 13 where applicable, govern installation requirements for grooved fittings in fire suppression systems.
