Smith Little Torch #4 Curved Tip | 2,300 BTU | 12-1401-04

Versatile Heating Solution for HVAC and Industrial Crafts

Enhance your brazing and soldering toolkit with the Smith Equipment 12-1401-04 Curved Tip, size #4. Designed to fit the industry-standard Smith Little Torch, this tip is a versatile workhorse suitable for a wide array of applications, from plumbing and HVAC repair to glass blowing and light industrial fabrication. The tip features a practical curved neck design, which significantly improves ergonomics and visibility. This allows operators to easily maneuver the flame around pipes or into recessed areas where a straight tip might be difficult to position effectively. With a brazing capacity for copper pipe ranging from 1/4 inch to 3/8 inch, it is an ideal tool for working with small-diameter tubing commonly found in refrigeration lines, instrumentation, and hydraulic systems.

Performance and durability are at the core of Smith Equipment's design philosophy. The 12-1401-04 tip is fitted with a synthetic sapphire orifice that resists wear and corrosion, maintaining a consistent flame shape throughout the product's lifespan. It delivers a substantial heat output of 2,300 BTU/hr, providing ample thermal energy for silver soldering, brazing, and even light welding tasks on various metals. The tip is rated for use with all standard fuel gases, including Acetylene, Propane, Propylene, and Natural Gas. This multi-gas compatibility gives welders and technicians the freedom to use their preferred or most readily available fuel source without compromising on performance.

The #4 size is often regarded as the "goldilocks" tip for general repair and fabrication work—it is not too small to be ineffective on slightly larger joints, yet not so large as to risk heat damage to surrounding sensitive components. Recommended pressure settings are user-friendly at just 5 PSI for both oxygen and fuel, making the setup process straightforward and safe. Whether you are a professional plumber sealing joints, a glass artist shaping molten material, or a hobbyist working on metal models, the 12-1401-04 tip delivers the controlled, reliable heat necessary for high-quality bonds and smooth finishes. Ensure your Little Torch is equipped to handle any challenge with this genuine Smith replacement tip.
