You could also use 1-1/4" copper pipe. It measures 1-3/8" OD and is available at most builders supply. It may be about the same cost as the stainless, I haven't checked. The copper comes in different wall thicknesses (referred to as "type"), but the OD is the same. Type M (red stripe and lettering) has the thinnest wall; Type L (blue stripe and lettering) is the next thicker wall; Type K (green stripe and lettering) has the heaviest wall, is the most expensive, and is harder to find. And, to complete this more-information- than-you-wanted-to-know, there is a fourth pipe referred to as DWV. It has a yellow stripe and lettering, and it's wall thickness is between that of M and L.

Should I have started a new topic and called it "Plumbing 101"?
