If your timing belt breaks while driving, your engine will stop working. We encourage preventive maintenance to avoid that.

Lightweight: Aluminum is a lightweight material, making aluminum pipe nipples easier to handle, transport, and install compared to heavier materials like steel.

Overall, the advantages of using aluminum pipe nipples make them a preferred choice in various applications, including plumbing, HVAC, industrial, and marine industries. The lightweight nature, corrosion resistance, high strength-to-weight ratio, ease of installation, cost-effectiveness, and recyclability of aluminum pipe nipples make them a reliable and efficient option for professionals.

A timing belt or timing chain is the part that fits in a specific spot against your engine and synchronizes the movement of your engine’s crankshaft and camshaft, to ensure that the valves and pistons on the top and bottom halves of your engine are opening and closing in the proper rhythm. A timing belt is a toothed version common in older vehicles, while a timing chain is more common in modern vehicles.

Corrosion resistance: Aluminum is highly resistant to corrosion, which makes it ideal for use in harsh environments such as marine or industrial applications. This feature allows aluminum pipe nipples to withstand corrosion caused by chemicals, water, and other substances, ensuring they have a long lifespan.

Easy to install: Aluminum pipe nipples are easy to cut and install, making them a popular option for professionals in various industries. This feature can save time and labor costs during installation.

A typical timing belt replacement interval is five years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. Your vehicle owner’s manual should tell your how often to replace your timing belt.

Aluminum is an ultra-light metal, making it an optimal choice for low cost and lightweight pipe nipples. However, because they are vulnerable to corrosion, aluminum pipe nipples are not recommended for wet or salty environments.

Cost-effective: Compared to other materials, such as stainless steel, aluminum is often less expensive, making aluminum pipe nipples a cost-effective option.

High strength-to-weight ratio: Although aluminum is lightweight, it is also strong, meaning aluminum pipe nipples can withstand high pressure and stress. This strength-to-weight ratio makes them a preferred option in applications where structural integrity is essential.

But remember, even if you have a non-interference engine, you should still follow your vehicle’s recommended timing belt replacement cycle. A timing belt failure may not put you at risk for major engine damage -- but it will still cause your vehicle to stall and strand you on the road.

In a non-interference engine, the valves and pistons occupy different spaces, so they’re unlikely to sustain damage from a broken timing belt. A new timing belt should get the engine operational again.

A bad timing belt may produce a ticking, rattling sound from the engine as the belt develops a looser fit against the engine. You may also hear your engine misfiring (backfiring) as one of more cylinders stays open, out of sync with the other cylinders. Request an appointment for a belt inspection as soon as possible if you hear any of these engine sounds. Fix that belt before it breaks -- and stalls your vehicle.

Aluminum pipe nipples, a kind of threaded pipe fittings, are used only in specialty applications where their uses and limitations are understood. They are not designed for use in general shop water or air plumbing layouts (refer to traditional metals like brass, steel/malleable iron, stainless steel, plastics, etc. for general plumbing applications). Aluminum to aluminum pipe threaded pipe fittings are not designed to be removed or re-tightened as they will bind very quickly and easily (ie. the friction of threading together will cause the aluminum structural pipe fittings to bond to itself - PTFE sealants, pastes, or tapes can lessen the effect but will not prevent it). Therefore, once aluminum to aluminum threads are threaded together, it is considered permanent and the leak paths of the aluminum structural pipe fittings would be difficult to eliminate (but weld aluminum fittings are available, N205WD, N210WD, N225WD, etc).

It depends on what type of engine you have: interference, or non-interference. An interference engine can easily be ruined by a broken timing belt. The valves (on the camshaft) and pistons (on the crankshaft) take turns occupying the same space, so the timing belt keeps them apart. Without a timing belt, the engine stops turning, but not all at once. The lighter camshaft stops first, leaving some valves open. The heavier crankshaft takes longer to stop, pushing the pistons against the open valves on the camshaft. The valves take the brunt of the damage, but surrounding parts can sustain additional damage.

Aluminum pipe nipples offer several advantages over other materials, making them a popular choice in various industries. Here are some of the advantages of using aluminum pipe nipples:
