Asc 390171528 Gruvlok Saddle Tee 6x2 Inch Fpt Ductile Iron

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 390171528 is a Gruvlok painted saddle tee fitting designed for grooved piping systems. It features a 6-inch run size with a 2-inch female pipe thread (FPT) outlet, making it a branch connection solution for commercial and industrial piping installations. Constructed from ductile iron with a painted finish for corrosion resistance, this saddle tee provides a reliable mechanical branch outlet without requiring hot work or welding. It weighs 7.31 pounds and is handled by pipefitters and mechanical contractors working in grooved-pipe environments.

This fitting is used in commercial and industrial mechanical systems where grooved piping is the standard connection method. Typical applications include fire protection, HVAC hydronic distribution, and industrial fluid handling. The FPT outlet allows direct threading of a branch valve, drop nipple, or instrument connection into the saddle body. It is suited for both new construction and retrofit projects where a branch takeoff must be added to an existing 6-inch grooved main line.

Key Features

• 6-inch by 2-inch saddle tee configuration for grooved main with threaded branch outlet
• Female pipe thread (FPT) outlet for direct threaded branch connections
• Ductile iron construction for durability in high-pressure piping systems
• Painted exterior finish provides baseline corrosion protection
• Eliminates the need for welding or hot work during branch installation
• Gruvlok product line — engineered for grooved mechanical coupling systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style grooved saddle tee for use with 6-inch grooved piping systems requiring a 2-inch FPT branch outlet in commercial and industrial mechanical piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed pipefitters or mechanical contractors familiar with grooved piping systems. Depressurize and drain the line completely before installing any branch fitting on an existing system. Follow the fitting manufacturer torque and coupling engagement guidelines for grooved connections, and ensure the branch outlet thread is properly sealed with an approved thread sealant before pressurizing. Local mechanical codes including ASME and applicable fire codes should be consulted for fire protection system installations.
