The fitting accepts a 4-inch main line with a 2.5-inch outlet branch and installs using standard grooved coupling hardware. Its painted finish provides a base layer of corrosion resistance for use in mechanical, HVAC, fire protection, and industrial piping applications. At 4.68 pounds, the casting is robust enough for demanding commercial and light industrial service. Licensed pipefitters and mechanical contractors use this type of saddle tee when a branch connection must be added to an existing grooved run without cutting the full pipe section.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis saddle tee is suited for commercial and industrial piping systems where grooved-end components are the joining method of choice. Typical applications include HVAC hydronic distribution, fire suppression branch lines, and industrial process piping. The grooved outlet configuration allows connection to standard grooved couplings and fittings that match the 2.5-inch branch outlet. Installation is straightforward within an established grooved piping system where the main pipe has already been grooved or rolled to the appropriate groove profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDuctile iron construction for high strength and impact resistance in pressurized piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4-inch main line by 2.5-inch grooved branch outlet configuration for standard takeoff connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePainted exterior finish provides baseline surface protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrooved outlet design is compatible with standard grooved coupling hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeighs 4.68 pounds — solid casting suitable for commercial mechanical applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style grooved saddle tee for use in grooved piping systems with a 4-inch main line and a 2.5-inch grooved branch outlet.

Depressurize and drain the affected piping section before beginning work. Verify that the main pipe groove profile matches the saddle tee seat requirements before applying coupling hardware. Do not overtighten coupling bolts beyond the hardware manufacturer's specified procedure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ductile Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches x 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Painted\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.68 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASC Engineered Solutions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 390173383\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51234084487474,"sku":"0390173383","price":100.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307627659.jpg?v=1780117211","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-engineered-solutions-390173383-grooved-saddle-tee-4x2-5-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
