Asc Engineered Solutions 390173904 Gruvlok Saddle Tee 8x4 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 390173904 is a Gruvlok grooved outlet saddle tee designed for use in grooved piping systems where a branch connection is needed off a larger main line. This fitting features an 8-inch main run with a 4-inch grooved outlet and is constructed from ductile iron with a painted finish for corrosion resistance. It weighs 13.93 pounds and is intended for installation by licensed pipefitters, mechanical contractors, or plumbing professionals working on commercial or industrial piping systems.

This saddle tee is suited for commercial and industrial applications including HVAC hydronic systems, fire protection piping, and general mechanical piping where a grooved pipe joining method is specified. The fitting allows a 4-inch branch takeoff from an 8-inch main without cutting threads, making it well suited for fast, reliable grooved assembly in new construction and retrofit projects.

Key Features

• Grooved outlet configuration enables fast branch connections without threading or welding
• Ductile iron construction provides high strength and impact resistance
• Painted finish offers baseline corrosion protection for typical indoor mechanical environments
• 8-inch x 4-inch size handles common main-to-branch transitions in commercial piping systems
• Compatible with standard grooved coupling and fitting systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style grooved saddle tee fitting for use in standard grooved piping systems with 8-inch main pipe and 4-inch branch outlets. Confirm coupling and gasket compatibility with the applicable grooved system specification before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or mechanical contractor in accordance with applicable local mechanical and plumbing codes. Depressurize and drain the piping system fully before cutting the branch outlet or installing the saddle tee. Use appropriate grooved coupling tools and follow the coupling manufacturer torque and assembly procedures for the gasket and housing used with this fitting. Inspect the pipe surface at the branch location for damage or out-of-round conditions before final assembly.
