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 this pipe

This is the pipe Nu-Rail® and Speed-Rail® fittings are made for: 6061-T6 aluminum structural pipe in true IPS sizes, with a Schedule 40 wall. It's light enough to carry and cut on site, stiff enough for handrails, racks and frames, and it won't rust.

We cut it to the length you choose, 2, 4, 6 or 8 feet, so it arrives ready to slide into your fittings. The finish is bare mill aluminum, straight from the mill with no coating, so it may show light handling marks. It's the same finish as our standard fittings.

Where it's used

  • Handrails, guardrails and safety rails
  • Racks, shelving and store fixtures
  • Tables, carts, booths and display frames
  • Lighting grids and light structural frames

Sizes

Nominal 3/4", 1", 1-1/4", 1-1/2" and 2" IPS, matching our fitting sizes exactly. Pick the same size for the pipe and the fittings, for example 1-1/2" pipe with 1-1/2" fittings.

Ordering notes

Pipe is cut to your order and is final sale; it can't be returned. Longer lengths ship as oversize packages, so 6 and 8 ft pieces cost noticeably more to ship than short ones; you'll see the exact shipping price at checkout before you pay. Need 2" pipe, a lot of pipe, or full 20–24 ft mill lengths? Call 1-800-METPIPE and we'll quote the pipe and freight together.
