The fitting accepts a 5-inch main line run with a 2-inch grooved outlet, allowing technicians to add a branch connection to an existing or new grooved pipe run without cutting and welding. At 6.40 pounds, the casting is built for the mechanical loads common in commercial HVAC, fire protection, and industrial piping. A painted finish provides baseline corrosion resistance during storage and installation. Grooved-end configuration means this fitting seats into standard grooved couplings, keeping the assembly tool-friendly and inspectable after installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis saddle tee is suited for commercial and industrial piping installations where grooved mechanical joining is specified. Typical applications include chilled water and hot water distribution systems, fire suppression mains, and general process piping where a branch takeoff is needed from a 5-inch header. The grooved outlet connection accepts a standard 2-inch grooved coupling for downstream branch runs. Licensed pipefitters and mechanical contractors working under ASME or local mechanical code requirements are the primary installers of this fitting type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDuctile iron construction provides high tensile strength and impact resistance in pressure piping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrooved outlet connection is compatible with standard grooved mechanical couplings, eliminating field welding on the branch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5-inch by 2-inch configuration supports main-to-branch transitions on medium and large pipe headers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePainted exterior finish provides baseline protection during handling and installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6.40-pound casting weight consistent with full ductile iron wall thickness for pressure service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style grooved saddle tee fitting for use in standard grooved mechanical piping systems accepting 5-inch main pipe and 2-inch grooved branch outlets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or mechanical contractor in accordance with applicable local mechanical codes and the fitting manufacturer's installation guidelines. Depressurize and drain the affected pipe section completely before fitting installation. Verify that the grooved pipe ends and saddle seat meet the dimensional tolerances required for the coupling used. Inspect the painted coating for damage after seating and touch up exposed areas to maintain corrosion protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 inches x 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ductile Iron\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: 6.40 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: 390173516\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233925988658,"sku":"0390173516","price":113.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307631212.jpg?v=1780112316","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-engineered-solutions-390173516-grooved-saddle-tee-5x2-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
