Lathed Piston Valve, Need Help!

As i have access to a lathe, I took advantage and turned myself a piston. I am going to build it around a mauler valve type, but i was wondering, my local supplier sells pipe, and 55mm couplings that slot into this pipe. Is the diameter of the coupling, or the pipe? As my supplier only does "swept" tees, I wanted to order a proper tee of the internet, but they don't do these 55mm tees, only 50mm. Will this work?

Take a caliper, and go measure it. Seriously the best way.
