Machined from 6061 aluminum, it provides a lightweight, corrosion-resistant connection for piping systems where steel would add unnecessary weight or react with the conveyed media. This nipple is used to join threaded pipe sections with a standard NPT interface. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians typically install this fitting in low-pressure fluid, air, or gas piping assemblies. The 6061 alloy grade offers solid machinability and structural integrity at Schedule 40 wall thickness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis nipple suits residential and light commercial plumbing, compressed air distribution, irrigation headers, and industrial process lines where aluminum is the preferred material. It is appropriate for systems requiring a short close-to-medium length threaded extension between fittings, valves, or equipment ports. The 4-inch length makes it a common choice when a close nipple is too short and a longer nipple would interfere with adjacent components. Installers working on OSHA-regulated job sites will note the fitting meets OSHA standards as specified by the manufacturer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6061 aluminum construction — lightweight and corrosion-resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSchedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty pressure applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThreaded on both ends for straightforward NPT connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-1\/2 inch nominal diameter x 4 inch length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets OSHA standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeighs 0.29 pounds — easy single-hand handling during install\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 40 threaded aluminum piping systems using standard NPT connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable IPC or OSHA requirements for the specific piping system. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply a compatible thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for aluminum and the conveyed media — avoid sealants that can cause galvanic reactions. Do not use pipe wrenches directly on the aluminum threads without jaw protection, as excessive clamping force can deform the thread profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6061 Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 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\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40173300\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.29 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 8024-400\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541284880690,"sku":"8024-400","price":68.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/8dc6061a765b2d6aef1c1e0d24fcb4c1.jpg?v=1785871403","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-8024-400-aluminum-pipe-nipple-1-1-2x4-in-sch-40","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
