So you want to substitute a thinner pipe which has a lower yield stress?? What makes you think that it a good idea??

Short answer NO

Long answer - ask your designer / engineer / person who is signing this modification off

My motto: Learn something new every day

Also: There's usually a good reason why everyone does it that way
