Pipe/Tubing Fit
For "1 1/4" aluminum Schedule 40 PIPE, it supposedly has a 1.660 OD and a .140 wall. This would make for a 1.38 ID. Now, I can get TUBING spec'd with a 1.375 OD. Will the tubing fit precisely in the pipe? Not like a press fit but able to slide well but not wobble. I have no idea what the tolerances are on these materials and I don't have time to go to the metal store to actually measure/try it. Thanks.
