    I hear you, and I didn't weld, but I think the advice given to me was based
    on the near-welding temperature of the exaust gas before the mixing elbow,
    which could give the same problem when installed.

      When welding galvanized pipe the zinc coating gives off a toxic gas as it
    burns. I don't know how this applies to your plumbing. If you just joined it
    together with threaded joints, it should not be a problem and if it was
    "black" pipe then there was not galvanizing anyway.
