Asc Engineered Solutions 390173821 Grooved Saddle Tee 8x2.5 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 390173821 is a painted ductile iron grooved saddle tee designed for branch connections on grooved piping systems. It provides a mechanical, grooved-outlet branch takeoff from a larger main line, eliminating the need for welded or threaded branch fittings in compatible pipe installations. The fitting measures 8 inches by 2.5 inches and weighs 10.58 pounds. It is finished with a painted exterior coating for corrosion resistance in standard service environments. Licensed pipefitters and plumbing contractors install this type of fitting in commercial and industrial piping systems where grooved mechanical joining is specified.

This saddle tee is suited for branch outlet applications on grooved pipe systems in commercial HVAC, fire protection, and industrial piping. The 8-inch run by 2.5-inch outlet configuration accommodates a common reduction scenario in larger-diameter distribution or service mains. It is installed directly onto a prepared pipe run and connects to a 2.5-inch grooved branch line, making it a practical solution for adding lateral connections without cutting out full tee sections of pipe.

Key Features

• Grooved outlet design for compatibility with standard mechanical grooved coupling systems
• Ductile iron construction provides strength and durability for commercial and industrial service
• Painted finish offers baseline corrosion protection in standard service conditions
• 8-inch by 2.5-inch configuration suits large-main to mid-size branch transitions
• Weighs 10.58 pounds, consistent with full ductile iron construction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style grooved saddle tee fitting for use on 8-inch grooved pipe systems requiring a 2.5-inch branch outlet connection in standard grooved mechanical piping assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or plumbing professional familiar with grooved mechanical piping systems. Depressurize and isolate the pipe section before beginning work, and confirm the pipe surface is clean and free of burrs at the saddle seating area. Follow the fitting manufacturer's torque and gasket seating procedures as specified in the applicable installation manual. Local mechanical and plumbing codes, including IPC requirements, govern acceptable applications and inspection requirements.
