Not that it matters in this application, but in general, running any kind of gaseous hydrocarbon through a zinc-galvanized tube like electrical conduit is a bad idea - the zinc will catalyze oxidation and is a serious safety hazard in distribution piping. 

Like I said - it's not really a concern in a burner head, but my inner engineering ethicist feels compelled to point this out.
