Built to Schedule 40 wall thickness, this nipple is designed for use in piping systems where corrosion resistance and light weight are priorities over the strength of steel. It connects threaded pipe runs, fittings, and valves in fluid or gas distribution systems. Plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians are the typical installers. The 6061 aluminum alloy offers good machinability and resistance to atmospheric corrosion, making it a practical choice where steel would rust or where weight reduction matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pipe nipple suits residential, commercial, and light industrial piping applications. Schedule 40 wall thickness is the standard for a wide range of low-to-moderate pressure services. Threaded-both-ends construction allows direct installation between two female-threaded fittings or valves without additional machining. It is commonly used in compressed air lines, irrigation headers, industrial process piping, and similar systems where aluminum is an approved or preferred material. OSHA compliance is noted for this product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6061 aluminum alloy construction for corrosion resistance and reduced weight versus steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure piping service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded on both ends for direct connection between female-threaded fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-1\/2 inch nominal diameter by 4-1\/2 inch length\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets OSHA standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUNSPSC Code 40173300\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation nipple for Schedule 40 threaded aluminum piping systems using 1-1\/2 inch nominal pipe size fittings and valves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or OSHA guidelines. Apply a thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for aluminum and the intended service fluid before threading the nipple into fittings. Do not over-tighten, as aluminum threads can strip or gall more easily than steel. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded nipple.\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: 1-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4-1\/2 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: 0.345 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: 8024-450\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51544205295922,"sku":"8024-450","price":73.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a85bc426db5a712a1f6e23b8c149f4ea_e9a38f92-4a9b-462a-9c89-19d23902b8e0.jpg?v=1785925646","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-8024-450-aluminum-pipe-nipple-sch-40-6061","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
