Sized at 8 inches by 3 inches with a female pipe thread (FPT) outlet, this saddle tee is cast from ductile iron and finished with a protective paint coating. Weighing 12.4 pounds, it is built for demanding industrial and commercial piping applications. Licensed pipefitters and mechanical contractors install this fitting on grooved pipe systems to establish a branch takeoff quickly and with a secure mechanical connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis saddle tee is suited for commercial and industrial piping installations where an 8-inch grooved main run requires a 3-inch FPT branch outlet. Typical applications include HVAC hydronic systems, fire protection headers, and process piping where grooved mechanical joining methods are specified. The FPT outlet allows direct threaded connection of branch pipe, valves, or instrumentation without additional adapters in most configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 inches by 3 inches saddle tee configuration for grooved main run with threaded branch outlet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFemale pipe thread (FPT) outlet for direct threaded branch connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDuctile iron construction provides high tensile strength and impact resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePainted exterior finish for corrosion protection in typical service environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with Gruvlok grooved piping system components and installation methods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard component for Gruvlok grooved mechanical piping systems accepting an 8-inch by 3-inch saddle tee with FPT outlet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or mechanical contractor familiar with grooved piping systems and applicable codes. Depressurize and drain the piping system completely before installing or replacing any fitting. Follow the pipe manufacturer and Gruvlok system specifications for groove dimensions and coupling torque. Threaded connections at the FPT outlet must be made with appropriate thread sealant per local code requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 inches x 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: FPT (Female Pipe Thread)\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\u003eItem Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12.4 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: 390171767\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233958396210,"sku":"0390171767","price":210.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307631210.jpg?v=1780113160","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-390171767-gruvlok-saddle-tee-8x3-in-fpt-ductile-iron","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
