That statement in itself is mis-leading. There is no such thing as
PIPE that has an actual outside diameter of 1.5"
PIPE sizes are defined in a
PIPE schedule based on the Inside diameter (nominally) and what is called 1-1/2" pipe has an OD of 1.9" (this is what is referenced in the manual under tower construction)
I will check the drawings, it is possible that the tower is constructed from 1.5"
TUBE which is actual outside diameter.
