I would say that it,s too thin. Lets do some math. .498 This is normal size for a .5 thread, depth of thread 28 TPI, .866/28= .030 So .498-.060 ( .030*2 because it,s per side) = .438-.308= .130/2=.065. .065 or about 1/16 of an inch is all the meat you will have. You decide. Do you realy want 55,000 psi contained by only 1/16 of a inch of steel?
