It measures 4 inches in diameter and 5 inches in length, with threads on both ends for direct connection to fittings, valves, or equipment ports. At 1.49 pounds, it is lightweight relative to steel alternatives while maintaining the structural integrity required for industrial and mechanical piping runs. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors use this nipple where corrosion resistance and low weight are priorities over the higher cost of stainless.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is suited for use in fluid transfer, pneumatic, and light industrial piping systems where 6061 aluminum is an approved material. The Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure ratings for aluminum pipe in both commercial and light industrial applications. It is sold individually and ships as a single unit, making it practical for maintenance, repair, and small-quantity service work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6061 aluminum alloy construction for corrosion resistance and reduced weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSchedule 40 wall thickness for standard pressure applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThreaded on both ends for direct installation without additional machining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-inch diameter by 5-inch length suits close-couple and short-run installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight at 1.49 pounds compared to steel equivalents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for Schedule 40 aluminum piping systems using 4-inch nominal pipe size connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters. Shut off system pressure and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for use with aluminum and the specific fluid or gas in the system. Verify that aluminum is an approved material under the applicable local mechanical or plumbing code before installation.\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 Pipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 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: 1.49 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40173300\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: 8064-500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51538305122610,"sku":"8064-500","price":301.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a85bc426db5a712a1f6e23b8c149f4ea.jpg?v=1785822464","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-8064-500-aluminum-pipe-nipple-sch-40","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
