This is the opinion of our teacher, the Rabbi, that one should be concerned that it is considered as handles of utensils that require immersion. Furthermore, if it is not considered as handles of utensils, one should be concerned that it constitutes a barrier at the connection point. See Azmera Leshimcha, Issue 173.
