Asc Engineered Solutions 390173557 Grooved Saddle Tee 5x3 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 390173557 is a Gruvlok 7046 painted saddle tee designed for grooved piping systems. This fitting connects a branch outlet to an existing run pipe using a grooved-end configuration, allowing for mechanical joining without hot work. It is constructed from ductile iron and finished with a painted coating for corrosion resistance. The fitting accommodates a 5-inch run pipe with a 3-inch grooved outlet. Licensed pipefitters and mechanical contractors install this fitting in commercial and industrial piping systems where branch connections are required.

This saddle tee is suited for commercial and industrial piping applications including fire protection, HVAC hydronic distribution, and process piping systems. The grooved outlet design allows integration with standard grooved couplings and fittings without cutting threads or welding. It is installed on a run pipe by mounting to the pipe surface and connecting the branch outlet through the grooved mechanical joint interface.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style grooved fitting compatible with standard grooved piping systems using Gruvlok-series couplings and components on 5-inch run pipe with a 3-inch grooved branch connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or mechanical contractor familiar with grooved piping systems. Depressurize and isolate the piping system completely before beginning any branch connection work. Follow the manufacturer's assembly instructions for proper gasket seating and coupling bolt torque sequences. Local mechanical codes and applicable NFPA standards should be consulted for fire protection piping installations.
