Asc Engineered Solutions 386014013 Grooved Outlet Coupling

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 386014013 is a Gruvlok grooved outlet coupling designed for use in mechanical piping systems that require a branch connection off a grooved main pipe. This fitting features a painted finish and a female pipe thread (FPT) outlet, combining a grooved-end main connection with a threaded branch takeoff in a single body. Sized at 2.5 inches by 1 inch and constructed from ductile iron, it is built to handle the mechanical stress and pressure demands common in commercial and industrial piping installations. Pipefitters and mechanical contractors are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This outlet coupling is suited for commercial mechanical piping systems where a grooved main line requires a reduced-size threaded branch outlet. Typical applications include fire protection, HVAC hydronic distribution, and industrial process piping. The FPT outlet allows direct connection of a threaded pipe or fitting on the branch side, while the grooved main connection interfaces with standard Gruvlok-compatible couplings. The painted exterior provides a basic level of corrosion resistance for interior installations.

Key Features

• Grooved main connection paired with a 1 inch FPT branch outlet for split-flow installations
• Ductile iron construction for strength and durability in pressurized piping systems
• Painted finish for basic corrosion protection in indoor environments
• 2.5 inch by 1 inch size accommodates common main-line and branch configurations
• Compatible with Gruvlok grooved coupling systems used in commercial mechanical piping

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style grooved outlet coupling for use with Gruvlok-compatible grooved piping systems in 2.5 inch main line configurations with a 1 inch FPT branch outlet.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or qualified mechanical contractor. Depressurize and drain the piping system fully before disassembling any grooved or threaded connections. Ensure the grooved pipe end meets the dimensional requirements for the coupling used on the main connection side. Thread engagement on the FPT outlet should follow applicable IPC guidelines for threaded pipe joints.
