Asc 390171189 Gruvlok Saddle Tee 3x2 Inch Fpt Ductile Iron

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 390171189 is a Gruvlok 7045 painted saddle tee fitting with a female pipe thread (FPT) outlet, designed for grooved piping systems in mechanical and fire protection applications. Constructed from ductile iron and finished with a painted exterior for corrosion resistance, this saddle tee measures 3 inches by 2 inches and weighs 4.27 pounds. It provides a reliable branch connection point on grooved pipe runs, allowing a threaded outlet to be added without cutting or welding. Licensed pipefitters and fire protection contractors typically install this fitting as part of grooved mechanical piping assemblies.

This saddle tee is suited for use in commercial and industrial piping systems where grooved pipe couplings and fittings are the standard connection method. The 3-inch run by 2-inch FPT outlet configuration accommodates common branch takeoff requirements in HVAC hydronic systems, fire suppression mains, and general plumbing distribution. The FPT outlet accepts standard threaded pipe or fittings for branch connections to valves, sprinkler heads, gauges, or other threaded components.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation saddle tee fitting for grooved mechanical piping systems using 3-inch grooved pipe with a 2-inch FPT branch outlet.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or fire protection contractor in accordance with applicable mechanical and plumbing codes, including IPC and NFPA standards where fire suppression systems are involved. Depressurize and isolate the piping system fully before removing or installing any grooved fittings. Inspect the pipe groove and gasket seat for damage before assembly. Do not exceed the fitting's rated working pressure as specified by the system design engineer.
