Well, my best guess is that the supply line is brass. It looks too yellow and the walls are a bit too thick to be copper. Given I've only ever dealt with brass shut-off valves, I'm going to have to do some research on how to handle brass pipe (and other fittings). If any of you have...

Well, it's not black pipe... It's non-magnetic so it's not black pipe, but it probably isn't galvanized pipe either. Thing is, it looked like it was because it was covered in something black. I was thinking it might be brass, but I'm not so sure. I haven't had a chance to remove the black...

The height of the supply line is roughly 36". By "centerline", I assume you mean relative to the center of the drain pipe (where the flange is)? If so, that's roughly 6-1/8". We did luck out in that the flange is 12" from the wall. However, the supply line is not copper but "black pipe" and...
