    Oh, huh. That’s interesting. I’m from the great white north, and our gas hookups are copper from what I’ve seen. If this is indeed iron, then the melting point would be higher: ~ 1,540°C.

    Interestingly that colour temperature chart is supposedly fairly consistent across different metals.

      Tbh I don’t know why we don’t use copper. I imagine because it’s more difficult to fuck up threaded and doped connections as opposed to soldered ones.
