Asc Engineered Solutions 390018620 Grooved Reducing Tee 8x4 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 390018620 is a grooved painted reducing tee designed for use in piped fluid systems requiring a branch connection that steps down from a larger main line to a smaller outlet. This fitting measures 8 inches by 4 inches and is manufactured from ductile iron, providing the structural integrity and pressure-handling capability expected in commercial and industrial piping installations. The factory-applied painted finish offers basic corrosion protection during storage and installation. This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors working on grooved-pipe assemblies.

This reducing tee is suited for commercial and industrial mechanical systems where grooved-end pipe connections are specified. Typical applications include HVAC hydronic piping, fire suppression systems, and general industrial fluid distribution. The 8 inch by 4 inch configuration accommodates main-run to branch-run transitions and integrates with standard grooved couplings and fittings throughout the system. Its ductile iron construction makes it appropriate for above-ground and moderate-service piping configurations where grooved mechanical joining is the preferred installation method.

Key Features

• Grooved ends on all three connections for use with standard grooved couplings
• Ductile iron construction for high-strength performance in mechanical piping systems
• Factory-applied painted finish for corrosion protection during handling and installation
• Reducing configuration: 8 inch main run to 4 inch branch outlet
• Weighs 38.09 pounds, consistent with full-bodied ductile iron fittings at this size

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style grooved fitting for use with standard grooved-end pipe and compatible grooved mechanical couplings in commercial and industrial piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or plumber familiar with grooved mechanical joining systems. Depressurize and isolate the pipeline completely before removing any existing fittings or inserting this tee. Verify that pipe ends are properly grooved to the coupling manufacturer's specifications before assembly. Follow applicable mechanical codes, including ASME and local plumbing codes, for fitting selection, pressure ratings, and inspection requirements.
