They will work, but I decided that the little details make a big difference. The biggest problem is that 1/2" pipe uses pipe threads and T-Jak uses regular threads throughout. This means that:
  1. The plastic base will be stressed by forcing pipe threads into it, and the T-Jak is designed to have the pipe bottom out when it is threaded in. T-Jak did this... more info
