Asc Engineered Solutions 390173243 Grooved Saddle Tee 3x2 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 390173243 is a painted grooved saddle tee fitting designed for use in grooved piping systems. Manufactured from ductile iron and finished with a painted coating for corrosion resistance, this saddle tee provides a reliable branch connection on a 3-inch run pipe with a 2-inch outlet. At 4.12 pounds, it is built to the dimensional and material standards expected in commercial and industrial piping installations. Licensed pipefitters and mechanical contractors specify grooved fittings like this one for their speed of assembly and consistent joint integrity in pressurized systems.

This fitting is suited for commercial and industrial piping applications where a grooved-end branch outlet is required. Typical installations include HVAC hydronic systems, fire protection distribution piping, and general mechanical piping where grooved coupling systems are the specified joining method. The 3-inch by 2-inch configuration accommodates a reducing branch outlet directly off the main line without requiring a separate reducing fitting in most layouts.

Key Features

• Ductile iron construction for strength and durability in pressurized piping systems
• Painted exterior finish provides a layer of corrosion protection
• Grooved outlet design is compatible with standard grooved coupling systems
• 3-inch by 2-inch reducing configuration allows direct branch tapping off the main line
• Weighs 4.12 pounds — substantial construction consistent with OEM-grade grooved fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style grooved saddle tee replacement or new-installation fitting for standard grooved piping systems using 3-inch main pipe with a 2-inch branch outlet.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or mechanical contractor familiar with grooved piping system standards. Isolate and depressurize the piping section before beginning any fitting work. Verify that the grooved pipe ends meet the dimensional requirements of the grooved coupling system being used. Follow applicable mechanical codes, including ASME and local jurisdiction requirements, for pressure ratings and joint assembly procedures.
