Asc Engineered Solutions 390171247 Gruvlok Saddle Tee 4x1 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 390171247 is a Gruvlok painted saddle tee designed for grooved piping systems. This fitting adds a branch outlet to an existing grooved pipe run without cutting or welding the main line. The 4-inch by 1-inch configuration accepts a 1-inch female pipe thread (FPT) outlet on a 4-inch main pipe. Constructed from ductile iron and finished with a protective paint coating, this saddle tee is built for durability in wet-system fire protection, HVAC piping, and industrial piping applications. Installation is performed by licensed pipefitters or fire protection contractors working with grooved mechanical piping systems.

This saddle tee is suited for branch connections on 4-inch grooved pipe mains where a 1-inch FPT threaded outlet is required. Typical applications include fire sprinkler branch lines, chilled water distribution systems, and hydronic piping where a mechanical grooved connection is preferred over welded fittings. The FPT outlet allows direct threaded connection to standard 1-inch pipe or fittings, simplifying branch takeoffs in tight or retrofit installation scenarios.

Key Features

• Ductile iron construction for strength and corrosion resistance in piping systems
• 4-inch main pipe by 1-inch FPT branch outlet configuration
• Painted finish provides a protective coating against surface corrosion
• Grooved main connection compatible with standard mechanical grooved coupling systems
• FPT outlet allows direct threaded connection to standard branch piping

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style grooved saddle tee fitting for use with standard 4-inch grooved mechanical piping systems accepting a 1-inch female pipe thread branch connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or fire protection contractor familiar with grooved mechanical piping systems. Depressurize and drain the affected piping section before installing the saddle tee. Follow the fitting manufacturer torque guidelines for the grooved coupling used to secure the saddle to the main pipe. Verify that all threaded connections at the FPT outlet are made with appropriate thread sealant and comply with applicable plumbing or fire protection codes.
