Thanks everyone I sure learnt a lot today and I do hope others benefited as well.

I used 250mm pvc pipe ( OD 225mm ) for my piers ( Reece Industrial)
Over specified for a tripod arrangement
Under specified for a singe pier arrangement ( should have be +300mm as advised by Diego from Sidereal Trading)
Hence I couldn’t use my 250mm central pier with a Sidereal Trading Steel pier adapter ( my pier is still sitting under the deck unused )
Just some advice from a reputable company and Astrophotographer
