It measures 4 inches in diameter and 5.5 inches in length, with threads on both ends for standard threaded pipe connections. This nipple is used to create or extend threaded pipe runs in plumbing, mechanical, and industrial piping systems. At 1.64 pounds, it offers a strong, corrosion-resistant connection point suitable for a range of fluid and gas transfer applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this component in commercial and light industrial settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pipe nipple is suited for threaded piping assemblies in residential, commercial, and light industrial environments. Its 6061 aluminum construction makes it a practical choice where weight savings and corrosion resistance are priorities over steel. Typical applications include compressed air lines, irrigation systems, and mechanical piping installations that require Schedule 40 wall thickness and standard NPT-compatible threaded ends.\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 40 wall thickness for pressure-rated threaded pipe systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded on both ends for direct connection to fittings, valves, or pipe couplings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4-inch nominal pipe size with 5.5-inch overall length\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUNSPSC Code 40173300 for procurement and sourcing reference\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 Schedule 40 threaded aluminum piping systems using standard NPT connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before making up the joint. Follow applicable IPC and local mechanical codes for pipe support spacing and pressure rating requirements.\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: 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.5 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: 1.64 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: 8064-550\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542905553202,"sku":"8064-550","price":322.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a85bc426db5a712a1f6e23b8c149f4ea_f2cd1ea0-5078-4d43-a7a3-f6a09affb519.jpg?v=1785910511","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-8064-550-aluminum-pipe-nipple-sch-40","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
