Asc 390171395 Gruvlok Painted Saddle Tee 5x2 Inch Fpt

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 390171395 is a Gruvlok painted saddle tee with a female pipe thread (FPT) outlet, designed for grooved piping systems in commercial and industrial applications. This fitting allows a branch tap off a main grooved pipe run without cutting the main line, making it a reliable solution for fire protection, HVAC hydronic, and industrial fluid systems. Constructed from ductile iron with a painted finish for corrosion resistance, the saddle tee measures 5 inches on the run by 2 inches at the FPT branch outlet and weighs 6.61 pounds. Installation requires a licensed pipefitter or mechanical contractor familiar with grooved coupling systems.

This saddle tee is suited for commercial and industrial piping installations where a branch connection is needed on an existing 5 inch grooved main. Typical applications include fire suppression systems, chilled water and hot water distribution, process piping, and general fluid handling. The FPT outlet provides a threaded connection point for branch valves, gauges, or instrumentation. The painted exterior helps protect the fitting during storage, handling, and service in indoor mechanical environments.

Key Features

• Ductile iron construction provides strength and durability in pressure piping systems
• Painted finish offers corrosion protection for indoor mechanical applications
• 5 inch x 2 inch configuration allows a branch tap off a grooved main without cutting the pipe
• FPT outlet accepts standard female pipe thread branch connections
• Part of the Gruvlok grooved fitting system for consistent, tool-compatible assembly

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style Gruvlok grooved fitting replacement or new installation component for 5 inch grooved pipe systems with a 2 inch FPT branch outlet requirement.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or mechanical contractor in accordance with applicable mechanical and plumbing codes. Depressurize and drain the piping system completely before installing or removing any grooved fittings. Verify that the grooved pipe end meets the dimensional requirements for the Gruvlok coupling used with this saddle tee. Thread engagement at the FPT outlet should follow standard pipe thread practice using appropriate thread sealant.
