Asc 390173532 Gruvlok Saddle Fitting 5 X 2.5 in Ductile Iron

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 390173532 is a Gruvlok 7046 painted saddle fitting designed for grooved piping systems used in mechanical, fire protection, and industrial piping applications. Sized at 5 inches by 2.5 inches, this saddle fitting provides a reliable branch outlet connection on a grooved main line pipe. Constructed from ductile iron, it delivers the strength and impact resistance required in demanding commercial and industrial environments. At 6.80 pounds, the fitting is built for durability while remaining manageable during installation. Licensed pipefitters and mechanical contractors are the typical installers for this type of grooved fitting.

This saddle fitting is suited for use in commercial HVAC piping, fire suppression systems, and industrial process piping where grooved mechanical joining methods are specified. The 5 inches by 2.5 inches configuration accommodates branch takeoffs from a 5-inch main line down to a 2.5-inch branch, making it a common choice in larger-diameter distribution systems. It is used wherever a grooved outlet connection is required without welding or threading the main pipe.

Key Features

• Ductile iron construction for high strength and impact resistance
• 5 inches by 2.5 inches grooved saddle configuration for branch outlet connections
• Painted finish provides baseline corrosion protection during installation and service
• Gruvlok 7046 series design compatible with standard grooved pipe joining systems
• Weighs 6.80 pounds for a balance of durability and handling ease

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style grooved saddle fitting for use with standard grooved piping systems accepting a 5-inch main line and 2.5-inch branch outlet configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or mechanical contractor familiar with grooved mechanical joining systems. Depressurize and drain the piping system fully before cutting the branch outlet or installing the saddle. Follow applicable codes including NFPA 13 for fire protection systems or applicable ASME and local mechanical codes for HVAC and industrial piping. Do not exceed the pressure and temperature ratings specified by the fitting manufacturer for the intended service.
