Aluminum Bus Pipe Supply
Seamless Extruded Bus Pipe | 6061, 6063, 6101 Alloys | Schedule 40, 80, 120
Maverick Metals supplies aluminum seamless bus pipe — an extruded tubular product used to convey electricity in substations and power distribution systems. Manufactured to nominal inside diameter with wall thickness determined by ANSI schedule (40, 80, 120). Available in 6063-T6, 6061-T6, and 6101-T61 alloys with current ratings from 681 to 6,651+ Amps depending on size and schedule.
Key Features & Specifications
Our aluminum bus pipe supply is manufactured to strict ASTM standards for purity, dimensional tolerance, and surface finish. Available in multiple alloy grades with custom sizing to meet your exact requirements.
General Specifications
Bus Pipe Schedules & Alloys
Select a pipe schedule to view detailed specifications, wall thicknesses, current ratings, and sizing information for each nominal pipe size.
Standard Wall Bus Pipe
The standard wall thickness for substation bus conductor. Best balance of current capacity, mechanical strength, and cost. 1" to 8" nominal sizes.
Heavy Wall Bus Pipe
Heavier wall for higher ampacity and longer unsupported spans. 20–50% more current capacity than Schedule 40 at the same nominal size.
Extra-Heavy Wall Bus Pipe
Maximum wall thickness for extreme span lengths, heavy loading, and highest current capacity requirements. Typically 4" and larger.
Applications for Aluminum Bus Pipe
Aluminum bus pipe is the standard conductor for power substations, transmission systems, and industrial power distribution.
Substation Bus Conductor
Primary bus conductor for outdoor and indoor substations up to 230 kV and beyond.
Industrial Power Distribution
Main bus runs for large industrial facilities, manufacturing plants, and data centers.
Utility Transmission
Connecting transformers, breakers, and switches in utility-scale power systems.
Heat Dissipation
Tubular design provides excellent natural cooling compared to solid bus bar.
Custom Fabrication
Bending, welding, and compression fitting for complex bus configurations.
Renewable Energy
Solar and wind farm collector substations and transmission interconnections.
