Asc 390171221 Gruvlok Painted Saddle Tee 4x0.5 in Ductile Iron

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 390171221 is a Gruvlok 7045 painted saddle tee fitting with a female pipe thread (FPT) outlet, designed for grooved piping systems in commercial and industrial plumbing and mechanical applications. Constructed from ductile iron with a painted finish for corrosion resistance, this saddle tee mounts to a 4-inch grooved main pipe and provides a 1/2-inch FPT branch outlet. It is sized at 4 inches by 1/2 inch and weighs 3.21 pounds. The fitting is installed by licensed plumbers and mechanical contractors as part of grooved mechanical piping assemblies, providing a reliable branch connection without welding or threading the main line.

This saddle tee is suited for residential and commercial mechanical piping systems where a branch tap is required off a 4-inch grooved main. Typical applications include fire protection, HVAC hydronic distribution, and general industrial piping. The FPT outlet allows direct connection of threaded branch lines, instruments, or valves. It is intended for use with Gruvlok-compatible grooved couplings and fittings as part of a complete grooved piping system.
