OVERVIEW

The Legendary Jeweler's Torch: Now with British Fittings

For decades, the Smith Little Torch has been the secret weapon of master jewelers, glass artists, and metal sculptors worldwide. This specific model (239-038) brings that same legendary control and versatility to your workbench, pre-configured with British Standard fittings. Whether you are setting up a shop in the UK, using imported regulators, or simply prefer the secure connection of British fittings, this outfit ensures you can get to work without hunting for obscure adapters. It is the ultimate tool for anyone who needs to manipulate metal on a miniature scale with absolute authority.

Imagine holding a torch that feels as light as a fountain pen but packs the power to melt platinum. The Little Torch fits comfortably in your hand, allowing you to manipulate the flame with the same dexterity you would use to sign your name. The included #4 tip is a perfect all-rounder, giving you a flame small enough for delicate prong work but robust enough for sizing rings or soldering bracelet links. The magic lies in the infinite control; with a simple adjustment of the knobs, you can dial in a pin-point flame that heats only the metal you want to move, leaving adjacent stones or delicate filigree perfectly safe.

The 8-foot hose gives you plenty of reach, so you aren't tethered tightly to your tanks. It is flexible enough to drape over your wrist or bench pin without dragging against your hand. This kit is designed to grow with you; while it comes with the #4 tip, the handle accepts the full range of Little Torch tips, including the microscopic #2 for the tiniest chains and heating tips for melting small amounts of scrap. Whether you are fusing glass, soldering silver, or brazing steel, this torch becomes an extension of your artistic will.

Why Choose the Little Torch?

  • Unmatched Control: Produce a flame smaller than a thread or large enough to cast small ingots.
  • Versatile Fuel Options: Works with Acetylene, Propane, MAPP, and Hydrogen (tips may vary).
  • Ergonomic Design: The lightweight body prevents hand cramping during long sessions of intricate work.
  • Professional Grade: Built to last with high-quality brass and aluminum components, not plastic.

FAQ

The hose connections on this specific SKU are threaded to British Standard Pipe (BSP) specifications, which differ from the standard CGA 'B' or 'A' fittings typically found on US equipment. This is designed for compatibility with UK/European regulators.

Not directly. Because this model has British fittings, you would need specific adapters to connect it to standard US CGA regulators. If you have US regulators, it is recommended to purchase the standard US version of the Little Torch instead.

The #4 tip included with the Little Torch is generally compatible with Acetylene, Hydrogen, Propane, Propylene, MAPP, and Natural Gas, provided the oxygen and fuel pressures are adjusted correctly.

No, this SKU is for the torch outfit only. It includes the torch handle, the 8-foot hose, and the #4 tip. Regulators and tanks must be purchased separately.

When used with Oxygen and Acetylene, the Smith Little Torch can produce a flame temperature of approximately 6300°F (3482°C), sufficient to melt most commercial metals.

No, the handle is compatible with the full range of Smith Little Torch tips, from size #2 (smallest) to size #7 (largest), as well as heating tips. This package just comes with the #4 to get you started.

The hose is extremely flexible and lightweight, designed specifically for bench work where stiff hoses would cause hand fatigue or knock over delicate workpieces.

The hose is designed for low-pressure oxy-fuel applications typical of the Little Torch, usually operating between 2-14 PSI depending on the tip size and gas used.
