[TheForge] help on hydraulics needed

[smith at blacksmithing.org]

Greetings all -- 

Hopefully a quick question -- are standard steel plumbing fixtures (nipples, 
'T's, elbows) appropriate for us in a hydraulic press. Seems like the 
equipment I have does have typical tapered threads but I just wanted to 
confirm the useage. See "http://ironflower.com/plans/press.htm" for what I'm 
actually trying to do.
