Midland Industries 76167 Aluminum Pipe Nipple 2in Mpt 5.5in

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 76167 is a threaded aluminum pipe nipple used to connect two sections of piping or to extend a run within a plumbing, HVAC, or fluid-handling system. It measures 5.5 inches in length with a 2-inch diameter and features male pipe thread (MPT) on both ends for standard threaded connection. Weighing 0.59 pounds, the aluminum construction keeps the fitting lightweight while offering adequate corrosion resistance for many low-pressure applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians are the primary installers of this type of close-tolerance fitting.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping systems where aluminum fittings are acceptable per local code. Common applications include water supply lines, compressed air distribution, and fluid transfer systems that call for a 2-inch threaded nipple of this length. Its straight nipple design makes it a straightforward component in any threaded pipe assembly where two MPT connections are needed at a fixed 5.5-inch span.

Key Features

• 2-inch MPT on both ends for standard threaded assembly
• 5.5-inch overall length provides a fixed extension between fittings
• Aluminum construction offers lightweight handling and corrosion resistance
• Weighs only 0.59 pounds, reducing load in overhead or vertical runs
• MOQ of 1 allows single-unit purchase for service and repair work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded pipe nipple for use in any system accepting a 2-inch diameter MPT aluminum fitting where local codes permit aluminum pipe components.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements. Shut off the fluid or gas supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten aluminum fittings, as the material is softer than steel and susceptible to thread damage under excess torque.
