It measures 3\/8 inch nominal pipe size by 3 inches in length and is threaded on both ends for direct connection to standard NPT fittings. The 6061 alloy delivers solid corrosion resistance and structural integrity in low-to-moderate pressure piping assemblies. At 0.046 pounds, it is lightweight without sacrificing durability. Plumbers, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians use this nipple to create close-coupled connections in fluid and gas distribution systems where steel corrosion is a concern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications where aluminum is preferred over steel or brass — including pneumatic lines, compressed air distribution, irrigation, and chemical-transfer systems compatible with 6061 aluminum. It threads directly into standard NPT female fittings and valves. The Schedule 40 wall thickness meets dimensional standards for 3\/8 inch nominal pipe, making it a straightforward drop-in connection in new installations or repair work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6061 aluminum alloy construction for corrosion resistance in compatible fluid and gas services\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 40 wall thickness — meets standard dimensional tolerances for 3\/8 inch nominal pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded on both ends (NPT) for direct connection to standard fittings and valves\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.046 pounds — easy handling in tight spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOSHA standards compliance noted for workplace safety applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard-fit replacement or new-install nipple for 3\/8 inch NPT piping systems that call for Schedule 40 aluminum construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or facility-specific piping codes. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid before making up connections. Do not overtighten aluminum threads — aluminum is softer than steel and susceptible to thread damage under excessive torque. Verify that the service fluid is compatible with 6061 aluminum before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Pipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/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\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6061 Aluminum\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: 0.046 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: 8006-300\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542908993842,"sku":"8006-300","price":31.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/87acff5507d7fa84a35a7720b0f40b45.jpg?v=1785910590","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-8006-300-aluminum-pipe-nipple-sch-40","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
