Notice the pipe is actually about 1 3/8ths in diameter, so it's
neither 1 inch nor 1.5 inch.


You do realize that pipe is not really measured like it is called ?


It is measured exactly as it's called, by INSIDE diameter.





That is what is called *one inch pipe will actually measuer about 1.3 inches
outside diameter with a ruler.
