I doubt that is true anywhere.
There was some original production done with wooden pipes but that was in the 1820’s. Even at the time of the civil war we were using metal pipe for oil & gas.
Wood wouldn’t hold up to the pressure used in the gas systems in use today.

The NG Tip is a brass fitting with a wide hole, and outside threads on the front. The Propane tips scree in to the NG tips, and have a smaller hole.
So given that the pressure, in a propane application, is regulated by the narrow propane tips, I imagine the NG tips would not wear at all.
Anyway, I never used propane with it - I bought it for a NG application.
... and if anybody mentions post-venturi propane gas flux, or Del-phi-del-Q, I will just scream...
