The inexpensive "team drawings" document talks about 1.25 pipe. The dimensions for that pipe are 1.38" inner diameter and 1.66" outer diameter. It's actually slightly thicker than the 1.5" steel tube in the official field drawings.

Would it surprise you to know that a 2x4 piece of wood is not 2" by 4"? If you're concerned about the true size, check the dimensions, not the label.
