The fitting is constructed from ductile iron and measures 8 inches by 2.5 inches, allowing a branch takeoff from a main grooved pipe run to a threaded outlet connection. Weighing 11.13 pounds, this saddle tee is built for the load demands of larger-diameter piping systems. Licensed pipefitters, plumbers, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting in hydronic, fire protection, and process piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis saddle tee is used where a threaded branch outlet is required off a grooved main pipe without cutting the main line out of service. The 8-inch main by 2.5-inch outlet configuration suits medium-to-large commercial piping systems in HVAC, fire suppression, and general mechanical applications. The painted finish provides a basic level of corrosion resistance for indoor and covered installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFPT outlet allows direct connection to standard threaded pipe or fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDuctile iron construction provides high strength and impact resistance for mechanical piping service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrooved main connection is compatible with standard Gruvlok-style grooved couplings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePainted exterior finish for corrosion resistance in typical indoor installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 inch x 2.5 inch configuration suits medium-to-large commercial branch takeoff applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style grooved saddle tee replacement or new-installation fitting for grooved piping systems requiring a threaded branch outlet on 8-inch grooved main pipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or plumber following applicable IPC and local mechanical code requirements. Shut down and depressurize the piping system completely before installing or removing any grooved fittings. Use appropriate groove-preparation equipment to verify that the pipe groove meets the specification required for the coupling used with this saddle tee. Do not overtighten the FPT outlet connection; use listed thread sealant and follow standard threading practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 inches x 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ductile Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Painted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Connection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Female Pipe Thread (FPT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11.13 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASC Engineered Solutions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 390171726\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233213120818,"sku":"0390171726","price":199.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307627657.jpg?v=1780094352","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-390171726-gruvlok-saddle-tee-fpt-8x2-5-in-ductile-iron","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
