Asc Engineered Solutions 390017382 Grooved Reducing Tee 3x2.5 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 390017382 is a Gruvlok grooved painted reducing tee designed for use in grooved piping systems. This ductile iron fitting connects a 3-inch main run to a 2.5-inch branch outlet, allowing directional flow changes and pipe-size reductions within a single fitting. The painted finish provides a base layer of corrosion resistance during storage and installation. Licensed pipefitters and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting as part of grooved mechanical coupling systems in fire protection, HVAC hydronic distribution, and industrial piping applications. The fitting weighs 6.30 pounds and is sized at 3 inches by 2.5 inches.

This reducing tee is suited for commercial and industrial piping installations where grooved-end pipe and mechanical couplings are specified. It is used in hydronic heating and cooling systems, fire suppression mains, and general process piping where a reducing branch connection is required. The grooved ends are designed to accept standard grooved mechanical couplings and housings that match the 3-inch and 2.5-inch pipe specifications. Installation is typically performed by licensed pipefitters or fire protection contractors following applicable mechanical and fire codes.

Key Features

• Ductile iron construction for high-strength performance in pressure piping systems
• Grooved ends on all three outlets for compatibility with standard mechanical coupling systems
• Reducing tee configuration transitions from a 3-inch main to a 2.5-inch branch in a single fitting
• Painted finish provides baseline corrosion protection during handling and installation
• Weighs 6.30 pounds, consistent with full-body ductile iron construction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style grooved reducing tee for use with standard grooved mechanical coupling systems on ductile iron or steel pipe in 3-inch by 2.5-inch configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or mechanical contractor in accordance with applicable codes and the coupling manufacturer's assembly instructions. Depressurize and drain the piping system completely before removing or installing any grooved fittings. Inspect the pipe grooves and gasket seating surfaces for damage before assembling couplings. Use the correct coupling housing and gasket rated for the pipe size, pressure class, and fluid service of the system.
