Asc Engineered Solutions 390017689 Grooved Reducing Tee 5x3 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 390017689 is a grooved reducing tee designed for use in grooved piping systems where a branch connection of a different diameter is required. Manufactured from ductile iron with a painted finish, this fitting provides a durable mechanical joint that supports fast assembly without welding or threading. It measures 5 inches on the run and 3 inches on the branch outlet. At 14.60 pounds, it is a substantial fitting suited for industrial and commercial piping installations. Licensed pipefitters and mechanical contractors are the primary installers of this type of component.

This grooved reducing tee is applied in commercial and industrial piping systems where flow needs to be directed from a larger main line into a smaller branch line. Typical installations include fire protection, HVAC hydronic distribution, and general mechanical piping where Gruvlok-style grooved couplings and fittings are specified. The painted exterior finish provides basic corrosion protection for indoor and covered mechanical room environments.

Key Features

• Ductile iron construction for high strength and impact resistance in demanding piping systems
• 5 inches x 3 inches reducing configuration for transitioning flow from a larger main to a smaller branch
• Grooved ends compatible with standard grooved coupling systems for tool-friendly mechanical assembly
• Painted finish provides surface protection for indoor mechanical installations
• 14.60-pound solid fitting suitable for permanent commercial and industrial pipeline configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style grooved fitting replacement for use in standard 5-inch by 3-inch grooved piping systems utilizing Gruvlok-series grooved couplings and components.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or qualified mechanical contractor in accordance with applicable mechanical and plumbing codes. Depressurize and drain the piping system fully before removing any existing fittings or couplings. Verify that pipe ends are properly grooved to the correct groove specification before seating the fitting and engaging the coupling housing. Inspect the gasket and coupling components for condition before final assembly.
