Smith Little Torch #5 Curved Tip for All Fuel Gases

Master Intricate Brazing with the Smith #5 Curved Tip

For jewelers, glass blowers, and metal sculptors, the torch is an extension of the hand, and the tip determines the quality of the work. The Smith Little Torch #5 Curved Tip (12-1401-05) is designed to give you absolute command over your flame. Whether you are resizing a heavy gold ring, repairing a platinum setting, or brazing small copper lines in a refrigeration unit, this tip delivers the heat and stability you demand. The secret lies in the synthetic sapphire jewel embedded within the tip. This jewel is laser-drilled to exact dimensions, creating a perfectly round orifice that produces a needle-point flame that won't hiss, pop, or wander, even when you are working on the most delicate pieces.

One of the standout features of the #5 tip is its "all-gas" compatibility. Many jewelers and tradesmen prefer specific gases for different tasks—Acetylene for high-heat welding, Propane for cleaner burning, or Hydrogen for platinum work. This tip handles them all with ease. You don't need to buy separate tips for different tanks; simply adjust your regulator to the recommended 6 PSI, and you are ready to work. Producing 3,800 BTUs of heat, it is powerful enough to melt up to 3 ounces of gold or silver, yet controllable enough to avoid damaging sensitive surrounding areas. The curved neck is a favorite among craftsmen, offering a more ergonomic angle that reduces wrist strain during long sessions and provides a better line of sight to the workpiece.

Beyond jewelry, this tip is a workhorse for hobbyists and tradespeople alike. In the world of electronics repair, it provides the localized heat needed for desoldering heavy components. For plumbers and HVAC technicians using the Little Torch for service calls, the #5 tip is perfect for brazing copper tubing up to 5/8". It is robust, reliable, and built to the high standards that have made Smith Equipment a legend in the industry. When you need a flame that is hot, stable, and versatile, the 12-1401-05 is the tip you reach for.

Invest in genuine Smith tips to ensure the safety and performance of your torch. The 12-1401-05 is easy to clean, durable, and designed to provide years of consistent service. Add this essential size to your kit and experience the difference a sapphire-lined tip makes in your daily fabrication and repair projects.
