Asc Engineered Solutions 390171130 Painted Saddle Tee 3x3/4 in

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 390171130 is a Gruvlok 7045 painted saddle tee with a female pipe thread (FPT) outlet, designed for grooved piping systems used in mechanical, HVAC, and fire protection applications. Constructed from ductile iron, this saddle tee provides a dependable branch connection on a 3-inch main line with a 3/4-inch FPT outlet. Weighing 2.75 pounds, it is built to handle the mechanical demands of commercial and industrial piping installations. Licensed pipefitters and mechanical contractors use this fitting when adding branch takeoffs to existing grooved pipe mains without cutting the line.

This saddle tee is suited for commercial and industrial piping systems where grooved-end pipe is already in use. Typical applications include HVAC hydronic distribution, fire suppression branch lines, and industrial process piping. The FPT outlet allows direct connection to threaded pipe, valves, or instrumentation at the branch point. It is installed on a 3-inch grooved pipe main and produces a 3/4-inch threaded branch outlet for downstream connections.

Key Features

• Ductile iron construction for strength and durability in mechanical piping systems
• 3-inch main line by 3/4-inch FPT branch outlet configuration
• Painted exterior finish for corrosion resistance in typical indoor installations
• FPT outlet enables direct connection to standard threaded pipe or fittings
• Gruvlok 7045 series design compatible with standard grooved coupling systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style grooved piping fitting for use with standard grooved coupling systems on 3-inch grooved pipe mains with 3/4-inch threaded branch connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or mechanical contractor in accordance with applicable local codes and manufacturer guidelines. Depressurize and isolate the piping system completely before installing or servicing this fitting. Ensure the grooved pipe end meets the dimensional requirements for the coupling being used, and verify thread engagement on the FPT outlet meets standard pipe thread specifications. Do not over-torque threaded connections at the branch outlet.
