Asc Engineered Solutions 390171494 Painted Saddle Tee

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 390171494 is a Gruvlok painted saddle tee designed for grooved piping systems requiring a branch outlet connection. This fitting features a female pipe thread (FPT) outlet and is manufactured from ductile iron, making it suitable for industrial and commercial piping applications. It measures 6 inches by 1-1/2 inches and weighs 6.86 pounds. The saddle tee mounts onto an existing grooved pipe run, allowing a branch takeoff without cutting the main line out of service. Licensed pipefitters and mechanical contractors are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This saddle tee is used in commercial and industrial piping systems where a grooved mechanical joint is the preferred connection method. The 6-inch run size with a 1-1/2-inch FPT branch outlet makes it well suited for fire protection, HVAC hydronic, or process piping installations where branch connections to smaller threaded lines are needed. The painted exterior finish provides basic corrosion protection during installation and service life.

Key Features

• Ductile iron construction for strength in pressure piping applications
• 6 inches by 1-1/2 inches configuration for run-to-branch connections
• FPT outlet accepts standard threaded pipe connections on the branch side
• Painted finish provides corrosion resistance during installation and service
• Grooved main body is compatible with standard grooved mechanical couplings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style grooved saddle tee fitting for use in standard grooved mechanical piping systems with a 6-inch main run and a 1-1/2-inch threaded branch outlet.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or mechanical contractor in accordance with applicable codes. Depressurize and isolate the piping system fully before installing the saddle tee on the main line. Verify groove dimensions on the existing pipe conform to Gruvlok groove standards before seating the coupling. Use appropriately rated thread sealant on all FPT connections at the branch outlet.
