Petcock is probably zinc.

I was thinking, copper/brass tubing for reinforcement, with the
threaded piece slipped over it.

Any gotcha's I'm about to run into?

thanks

Nah, just use a cutting torch for fine flame control.

Or, under $7 delivered from Amazon:

Probably not safe. The threaded part, that fractured, actually DOES
have to get tightened with a wrench at some point.
Get a good, natural-gas-type valve, like a lab would use on
Bunsen burners, if you want an upgrade.

That valve looks like a motorcycle fuel switch; search on Amazon for this part:
