It measures 3\/4 inch nominal pipe size by 3 inches in length and is threaded on both ends for standard NPT connections. This nipple is used to extend, connect, or offset threaded pipe runs in plumbing, pneumatic, and industrial piping systems. The 6061 aluminum construction keeps weight low while providing adequate strength and corrosion resistance for a wide range of non-ferrous compatible applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install this nipple where steel or brass would add unnecessary weight or where aluminum compatibility is required by the system design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pipe nipple fits residential and light commercial piping applications where Schedule 40 aluminum is specified. It is well suited for pneumatic lines, irrigation systems, compressed air distribution, and industrial process piping where aluminum is an acceptable material. The 3\/4 inch nominal size is one of the most common sizes in these systems, making this nipple a straightforward replacement or extension fitting. Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable code requirements for the system type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6061 aluminum alloy construction for lightweight, corrosion-resistant service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty threaded pipe applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded on both ends for direct NPT connection to fittings, valves, or pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/4 inch nominal pipe size fits common system configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOSHA standards compliance noted for applicable workplace piping installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard Schedule 40 aluminum pipe nipple for use with 3\/4 inch NPT threaded fittings and piping components in non-ferrous compatible systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Depressurize and isolate the line before removing any existing fittings or nipples. Use thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid on all threaded connections. Do not overtighten aluminum threaded fittings, as the alloy is softer than steel and susceptible to thread damage from 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: 3\/4 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\u003eThreading\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded on Both Ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: OSHA\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.09 pounds\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: 8012-300\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540177879346,"sku":"8012-300","price":43.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/abfed8ca9c08f4c877c58fb9228fa309.jpg?v=1785848098","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-8012-300-aluminum-pipe-nipple-sch-40-6061","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
