It measures 1\/8 inch nominal pipe size by 3 inches in length and is threaded on both ends for direct connection to standard NPT fittings. At 0.022 pounds, this lightweight fitting is well suited for low-pressure instrumentation, pneumatic lines, and fluid handling systems where corrosion resistance and weight savings matter. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this nipple as a short connecting piece between valves, regulators, and inline components. Compliance with OSHA standards supports its use in industrial and commercial environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pipe nipple is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing, pneumatic, and low-pressure fluid distribution applications where aluminum construction is preferred over steel or brass. The 6061 alloy offers good machinability and resistance to many corrosive media, making it a common choice for compressed air lines, irrigation manifolds, and process piping where steel corrosion is a concern. The 1\/8-inch size is frequently used at instrument taps, gauge connections, and similar small-bore fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6061 aluminum alloy construction for corrosion resistance and light weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty pressure applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded on both ends for direct NPT fitting connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/8 inch nominal pipe size suitable for small-bore instrument and gauge lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOSHA-compliant construction for use in regulated work environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.022 pounds minimizes load on small fittings and gauges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard-service fitting for 1\/8-inch NPT threaded connections in Schedule 40 aluminum pipe systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or facility-specific piping codes. Shut off system pressure and bleed the line before removing or installing any threaded pipe fitting. Apply a compatible thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and hand-tighten before using a pipe wrench to avoid cross-threading. Do not over-torque aluminum fittings, as the alloy is more susceptible to thread damage than steel.\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: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded on Both Ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.022 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: 8002-300\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542666150194,"sku":"8002-300","price":86.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a85bc426db5a712a1f6e23b8c149f4ea_9700d439-3424-43ac-b1df-652ddb7854c0.jpg?v=1785904251","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-8002-300-aluminum-pipe-nipple-sch-40-6061","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
