Asc 390171361 Gruvlok Saddle Tee Fpt 5x1.25 in Ductile Iron

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 390171361 is a Gruvlok painted saddle tee with a female pipe thread (FPT) outlet, engineered for grooved piping systems in mechanical and fire protection applications. This fitting provides a branch connection off a 5-inch main pipe run, reducing down to a 1.25-inch FPT outlet. Constructed from ductile iron with a painted finish for corrosion resistance, the 390171361 is suited for use in pressurized fluid systems where a reliable, leak-tight branch takeoff is required. Licensed plumbers, fire protection contractors, and mechanical pipefitters typically handle installation of grooved saddle tee fittings of this type.

This saddle tee is designed for use in commercial and industrial piping systems that use grooved-end pipe and fittings, including hydronic heating and cooling loops, fire sprinkler mains, and general mechanical piping. The FPT outlet allows direct connection to threaded branch piping or valves. The 5-inch by 1.25-inch configuration makes it appropriate for larger main runs that require a smaller threaded branch takeoff in a single fitting.

Key Features

• Painted ductile iron construction for durability and corrosion resistance
• 5-inch main run with 1.25-inch FPT branch outlet for reducing branch connections
• Female pipe thread outlet accepts standard NPT threaded fittings or valves
• Grooved saddle design integrates with standard grooved pipe coupling systems
• Painted finish provides added surface protection in wet or humid environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style grooved saddle tee fitting compatible with standard grooved piping systems using 5-inch grooved pipe and 1.25-inch female pipe thread branch connections, consistent with Gruvlok system specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or fire protection contractor in accordance with applicable mechanical codes and the manufacturer grooved coupling system guidelines. Depressurize and drain the piping system fully before cutting or modifying any section of pipe. Ensure the pipe groove dimensions conform to Gruvlok specifications before seating the saddle and coupling housing. Do not overtighten threaded branch connections beyond rated torque ranges per applicable standards.
