This Gruvlok-style saddle tee allows a 3-inch branch outlet to be taken off a 6-inch main pipe run without cutting the main line out of service in many configurations. Constructed from ductile iron with a painted finish for corrosion resistance, it is sized at 6 inches by 3 inches and weighs 8.37 pounds. This fitting is installed by pipefitters and mechanical contractors working on fire protection, HVAC hydronic, and industrial piping systems where grooved mechanical joining is specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis saddle tee is suited for commercial and industrial piping applications where grooved-end branch connections are required on larger main lines. Typical installations include fire sprinkler mains, chilled water and hot water hydronic distribution headers, and process piping where quick mechanical assembly is preferred over welded or flanged alternatives. The painted exterior finish helps protect against surface oxidation during storage and service in non-corrosive environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDuctile iron construction provides high strength and impact resistance for pressure piping service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePainted finish offers basic corrosion protection on exposed surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6 inches by 3 inches configuration provides a direct grooved branch outlet off a 6-inch main\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrooved outlet connection is compatible with standard grooved couplings and fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSaddle design allows branch tap without removing the main pipe section\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 on standard grooved piping systems with a 6-inch main and a 3-inch branch outlet. Consult system design documents and the coupling manufacturer specifications to confirm pressure ratings and groove dimensions before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or mechanical contractor familiar with grooved piping systems and applicable mechanical codes. Depressurize and drain the affected piping section before installing the saddle tee, and verify that the main pipe groove dimensions conform to the coupling manufacturer specifications. Use the correct gasket grade for the service fluid and temperature, and torque coupling fasteners per the coupling manufacturer guidelines. Inspect the painted finish after installation and touch up any damaged areas to maintain corrosion protection.\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: 6 inches x 3 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: 8.37 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: 390173698\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51234081440050,"sku":"0390173698","price":131.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307631214.jpg?v=1780117109","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-engineered-solutions-390173698-grooved-saddle-tee-6x3-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
