Asc Engineered Solutions 390171569 Gruvlok Saddle Tee 6x3 in

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 390171569 is a Gruvlok 7045 painted saddle tee with a female pipe thread (FPT) outlet, designed for grooved piping systems in mechanical and industrial applications. Built from ductile iron and finished with a protective painted coating, this fitting measures 6 inches by 3 inches and weighs 9.60 pounds. It provides a reliable branch connection off a grooved main line, allowing a threaded branch outlet to be added without cutting the pipe. Licensed pipefitters and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting in fire protection, HVAC, and industrial piping systems.

This saddle tee is suited for grooved-pipe installations where a branch takeoff is needed from a 6-inch main to a 3-inch FPT branch connection. Typical applications include commercial and industrial piping systems for fire suppression, heating and cooling distribution, and process piping. The FPT outlet accepts a standard threaded pipe connection, making it straightforward to transition to a threaded branch run from a grooved main line.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style grooved fitting for use in grooved mechanical pipe joining systems on 6-inch grooved main lines with a 3-inch female pipe thread branch outlet.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or mechanical contractor in accordance with applicable codes, including NFPA 13 for fire suppression systems where applicable. Depressurize and isolate the piping system completely before beginning any fitting work. Verify that the grooved pipe ends meet the fitting manufacturer groove specifications before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections at the FPT outlet; use appropriate thread sealant per the applicable piping code.
