I've been working on another boat project and looking through
various manufacturers websites I've found that aluminum water pipe might
be the best solution for one aspect. I want a 5052 pipe a wall
thickness greater than the available tube I have found. Schedule water
pipe seems to be a solution that exists. A few manufacturers do list it
on their website, but I can't seem to find any "retail" at any of my
usual sources. In fact very few seem to even have thin wall tube in 5052.

The first question some might ask is, "What's wrong with 6061? 6061
water pipe is available as is thicker wall 6061 tube." I want 5052 and
6061 isn't 5052. If I wanted to settle I would not need to make this post.

Diameter, schedule/wall thickness, length, total quantity?


Are you a vendor seeking to quote or do you know of a retail (online)
source for 5052 aluminum pipe?

I've spent a bit of time looking and I think its as much what is
available to me as it is what size I would really like. What I would
really like is 5052 extrusions to fit the application, but what I have
found to fit the application that is not proprietary is all 6061.

1-1/4 schedule 40 and 3/4 schedule 40. About 120 feet of each.
