Rims tube attached to mash tun

[sictransit701]

Thinking about getting a tc rims tube and attaching it directly to my 15 gal spike mash tun wort return with tc fittings. Just checking to see if anyone has tried it.
My concerns are:
Is the added weight going to tip my mash tun over?
Is the height of the mash tun going to be tall enough to fit the tube and element above the table surface? The tube I’m getting is 12 inches. The height of the tc return port is 16 inches. Would those 4 inches cover the element and cord? I guess I could hang it off the side of the table if it gets too long.
If I don’t go that route, my concern is how to build a stand to mount it.

I like this idea. It won’t pull your tun over but the length will be an issue. If you are willing to put a hole in your table and pass the tube up through it, it will be work well.

5+ years ago I used a RIMS tube. Mounted it on the MT as you are looking to do. No issues with it.
