It measures 1\/2 inch nominal pipe size by 3.5 inches in length and is threaded on both ends for direct connection to fittings, valves, or threaded pipe. Weighing just 0.078 pounds, this nipple is well suited for lightweight piping systems where corrosion resistance and reduced system weight are priorities. OSHA-listed construction makes it appropriate for industrial and commercial plumbing and pneumatic applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors are the typical installers for this type of fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pipe nipple is used in residential, commercial, and light industrial piping systems where aluminum construction is specified. Common applications include low-pressure fluid lines, air lines, and corrosive-environment service where steel fittings are not preferred. The 6061 alloy designation indicates a heat-treatable, weldable aluminum with good machinability and moderate strength. The 1\/2-inch NPT thread pattern fits standard pipe fittings across most plumbing and pneumatic system configurations. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of one.\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-pressure piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded on both ends for straightforward inline connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOSHA-listed construction meets industrial workplace standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeighs 0.078 pounds — lightweight for overhead or weight-sensitive runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard 1\/2-inch NPT Schedule 40 aluminum pipe nipple suitable for use with compatible aluminum or brass threaded fittings and valves in low-pressure fluid, air, and gas piping systems where aluminum material is appropriate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC codes for the service type. Shut off system pressure and drain the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid before threading the nipple into fittings. Do not overtighten aluminum threads, as 6061 aluminum is softer than steel and susceptible to thread damage 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\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.5 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: 0.078 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: 8008-350\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539154108722,"sku":"8008-350","price":44.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1f09677799f2a0d87fc9493aa800ad45.jpg?v=1785835548","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-8008-350-aluminum-pipe-nipple-sch-40-6061","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
