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.Â* I want a 5052 pipe a wall thickness
greater than the available tube I have found.Â* Schedule water pipe seems
to be a solution that exists.Â* A few manufacturers do list it on their
website, but I can't seem to find any "retail" at any of my usual
sources.Â* 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?Â* 6061
water pipe is available as is thicker wall 6061 tube."Â* I want 5052 and
6061 isn't 5052.Â* If I wanted to settle I would not need to make this post.

I think these were cut from aluminum irrigation(?) pipe.

That would be some hellacious irrigation pipe. I've got a buddy who
owns a several miles of irrigation pipe upto 12 inches. None of it is
that thick.

I think its more likely it was cut from plate. There are even aluminum
vendors who list circle (ring) cuts as standard order items on their
websites. https://www.xometry.com/supplies/aluminum-6061-t6-ring
