Aluminum Pipe
Aluminum pipes are lightweight, resistant to corrosion, and able to withstand very cold temperatures. Aluminum is widely used to make irrigation pipes and industrial pipe fittings.
Aluminum irrigation pipes are durable, lightweight, and rigid, although in some cases they may be susceptible to denting. These pipes are available in a number of different diameters, including 4-5" sprinkler pipes and 6-12" main pipes. Aluminum irrigation pipes are also available in different grades or wall thicknesses. Light duty aluminum pipe may have a thickness of 0.5-0.6" while heavy duty aluminum pipe may be up to an inch thick.
Aluminum pipe-fittings are light-weight, attractive, and resistant to corrosion. They come in many different shapes and sizes. The most common shapes are straight couplings, which attach two pipes in a straight line; elbows, which connect two pipes at an angle; and tees, T-shaped fittings that attach two or more pipes at an angle.
