In AS/NZS 1576.2, it says "For tubular stem adjustable leg or adjustable baseplate, the minimum wall thickness shall be a nominal 5 mm."

I would like to know is it this 5mm including the depth of the thread.

Most of time, scaffolding are using solid stem. I don't know too much about hollow stem. But many scaffolder start using hollow. I want to learn that.

Normally the depth of the thread is 2mm. If this 2mm is including in the 5mm, I think it will be too thin.
