Victaulic f020420x16 Ss Pipe Tee 2 in Ogs Grooved Sch 10S

Product Description

The VICTAULIC f020420x16 is a Series 420 SS stainless steel pipe tee designed for grooved piping systems. Constructed from 316/316L stainless steel to Schedule 10S, this fitting provides a corrosion-resistant, roll-grooved connection point for branching flow in demanding piping applications. The OGS (original groove system) grooved end style is factory-machined to accept standard Victaulic couplings, eliminating the need for welding or threading at the branch connection. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in commercial and industrial piping systems where stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance or sanitary requirements.

This tee is suited for 2-inch nominal pipe installations in commercial, industrial, and institutional piping systems. Grooved stainless fittings in the 420 SS series are commonly used in HVAC hydronic systems, fire protection piping, process piping, and food-grade or pharmaceutical applications where 316L stainless steel is required. The 2-3/8 inch OD dimension confirms compatibility with standard 2-inch Schedule 10S stainless steel pipe.

Key Features

• 316/316L stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in wet and aggressive environments
• OGS grooved ends machined for direct coupling with standard grooved mechanical couplings
• Schedule 10S wall rating suitable for standard commercial and industrial pipe systems
• Factory-grooved ends eliminate field welding or threading at the tee connection
• 2-3/8 inch OD matches standard 2-inch Schedule 10S stainless steel pipe dimensions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style grooved fitting for use with 2-inch nominal Schedule 10S stainless steel pipe in OGS grooved piping systems. Compatible with standard grooved mechanical couplings sized for 2-3/8 inch OD pipe.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or plumber familiar with grooved mechanical piping systems. Depressurize and drain the piping system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Inspect grooved pipe ends for compliance with groove dimensions specified for the coupling being used. Follow applicable plumbing and mechanical codes, including IPC and ASME B31 standards, for pressure system work involving stainless steel piping.
