Are you sure you want 8 ft lengths?

For the lowest shipping cost, we suggest 6 ft or shorter when possible. 8 ft lengths add substantially to UPS and FedEx shipping charges.

Full lengths are quoted by phone

We only sell short lengths online. For full mill lengths of 20–24 ft, please call us for a quote and we'll price the pipe and freight together.

About the #5

The #5 tee joins the end of one pipe to the middle of another at 90°. The through pipe stays continuous, which keeps rails and frames stiff and simple to lay out.

Like every Nu-Rail® fitting, it's cast from corrosion-resistant 535 aluminum-magnesium alloy and locks onto standard pipe with set screws. No welding, no threading, just a hex key. Loosen the screws and you can reposition it or take the whole structure apart later.

Where it's used

  • Posts meeting a continuous top rail
  • Mid-rails and shelf supports
  • Cross members in frames and racks

Sizes & options

Available for 3/4" to 2" IPS pipe. We stock the standard mill finish. Anodized fittings and stainless steel set screws for harsh environments are available on request; call 1-800-METPIPE.
