Asc Engineered Solutions 390173664 Grooved Saddle Tee

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 390173664 is a painted grooved saddle tee fitting designed for use in grooved piping systems. This fitting connects a branch line to a main run pipe, creating a tee outlet without cutting out a full pipe section. Made from ductile iron and finished with a painted coating for corrosion resistance, it measures 6 inches by 2.5 inches and weighs 7.85 pounds. Licensed pipefitters and mechanical contractors install this fitting as part of grooved mechanical joining systems in fire suppression, HVAC hydronic, and industrial fluid piping applications.

This saddle tee is suited for grooved piping installations in commercial and industrial settings where branch connections are required on existing or new main runs. The 6-inch main by 2.5-inch outlet sizing makes it appropriate for moderate-flow branch takeoffs in wet pipe fire protection systems, chilled water loops, and process piping. Installation relies on compatible grooved couplings and housings per the system design specifications.

Key Features

• Ductile iron construction for high strength and impact resistance in pressurized piping systems
• Painted exterior finish provides a base layer of corrosion protection
• Grooved outlet design compatible with standard grooved mechanical coupling systems
• 6-inch by 2.5-inch sizing accommodates branch connections on medium-diameter main runs
• One-piece saddle tee body simplifies branch connection installation compared to welded alternatives

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style grooved saddle tee fitting for use in standard grooved piping systems with 6-inch main pipe and 2.5-inch branch outlet configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or mechanical contractor familiar with grooved piping systems. Depressurize and drain the piping system fully before making any connections or modifications. Use properly sized grooved couplings and verify that pipe end preparation meets the groove dimensional standards required by the coupling manufacturer. Follow applicable mechanical and fire protection codes, including NFPA 13 for fire suppression applications, when integrating this fitting into a piping system.
