We use black pipe for most of the run. Cast Iron. The actual hookup itself is a flexible pipe…SS or Aluminum I think. Been a long time since I had gas. Sometimes they have like a rubbery-epoxy-ish coating but I assume that’s now quite gone and stinky.
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.
That looks pretty damn likely imminent to me…
I think you’re right. I was curious, so I looked it up.
The melting point of copper is 1,085°C, and judging from this chart, its definitely getting close:
You ever see gas hookups in the US?
