Machined from 6061 aluminum, this nipple delivers corrosion resistance with a lightweight profile suited for low-pressure piping assemblies. It is used by plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors to connect threaded fittings, valves, and instrumentation ports in piping systems where steel would add unnecessary weight or corrode in the service environment. The Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure ratings for the 1\/8-inch pipe size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple fits residential and light commercial piping applications involving air, water, or compatible fluid distribution lines. It is commonly used in pneumatic instrument lines, low-pressure air supply headers, and similar utility piping where aluminum construction is specified. The 1\/8-inch size is typical for gauge ports, bleed connections, and branch takeoffs in mechanical systems. Both ends carry NPT threads for direct connection to standard pipe fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6061 aluminum construction provides corrosion resistance and reduced weight versus steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 40 wall thickness for standard pressure service at 1\/8-inch nominal pipe size\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded on both ends with NPT threads for compatibility with standard pipe fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOSHA-compliant per stated standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.01 pounds — suited for instrument and gauge port applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 1\/8-inch NPT threaded piping assemblies requiring Schedule 40 aluminum nipples.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or mechanical code requirements for the service fluid and pressure rating. Depressurize and isolate the piping section before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before makeup. Do not overtighten aluminum fittings — aluminum threads are softer than steel and susceptible to galling or stripping under excessive torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6061 Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Pipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreading\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded on Both Ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: OSHA\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40173300\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: MERIT BRASS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8002-150\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51544636064050,"sku":"8002-150","price":67.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/721ad9f87e4877e8a1994d793a13eec6.jpg?v=1785932266","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-8002-150-aluminum-pipe-nipple-sch-40","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
