Zotty Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 (edited) no worries... and in answer to your question... i think its the website thats making it confusing... i think both white and black versions are identical... the one that says brass says Material - Brass and the one that says copper says Cold Plate Material - Nickel-Plated Copper i assume its.. both have a brass block and both have Nickel-Plated Copper cold plate. (the cold plate can be removed from the block)..... Edited May 12, 2020 by Zotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi! That's definitely a typo on the website. Cold Plate Material on the White version is the same as on the Black version, Nickel-Plated Copper.
