It serves as a short-run connector between fittings, valves, or equipment ports in piping assemblies where corrosion resistance and reduced weight are priorities over steel. The 6061 alloy offers a solid combination of machinability and structural integrity, making it suitable for plumbing, pneumatic, and light industrial applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is used in residential and light commercial piping systems where aluminum is specified for corrosion resistance or weight reduction. It is appropriate for use in air, water, and other compatible fluid systems that permit aluminum pipe fittings under the applicable system design requirements. The threaded-on-both-ends configuration makes it a direct-connect solution between two female-threaded ports without the need for additional adapters.\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-duty pressure applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded on both ends for straightforward installation between female-threaded fittings or ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-1\/2 inch nominal pipe size with 5-1\/2 inch overall length\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for air, water, and compatible fluid service in aluminum-approved systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 1-1\/2 inch NPT piping assemblies that call for Schedule 40 aluminum pipe nipples with threading on both ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or system-specific piping codes. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe components. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for use with aluminum fittings and the fluid being conveyed. Avoid over-tightening, as aluminum threads can gall or strip more readily than steel when excessive torque is applied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6061 Aluminum Alloy\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: 5-1\/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\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.415 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: 8024-550\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51538713542962,"sku":"8024-550","price":80.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a85bc426db5a712a1f6e23b8c149f4ea_6cdb2dfa-292d-4b54-9bea-1ec13c3b33ee.jpg?v=1785825756","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-8024-550-aluminum-pipe-nipple-sch-40","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
