Smith NE180-2 Handi-Heet Medium Air/Acetylene Soldering Tip

Upgrade Your Handi-Heet Torch

If you are running a Smith Handi-Heet or Silver Smith setup, the NE180-2 Medium Tip is the workhorse attachment you need in your kit. Delighting users with its simplicity and efficiency, this tip pumps out 7500 BTUs, giving you the perfect amount of heat for soft soldering copper pipes, body leading, and general light-duty heating tasks. It runs on a simple air/acetylene mix, meaning you get a hot, workable flame without dragging around an oxygen tank.

One of the best features of this tip is the slip-in design. You don't need to fumble with a wrench to swap it out; just slide it in and tighten it by hand. Once it's seated, you can rotate the entire tip 360 degrees without the flame going out. This is a lifesaver when you are working against a wall or in a tight corner and need to direct the heat exactly where it counts without contorting your hand into an uncomfortable position.

Durability is key in any shop environment, and the NE180-2 delivers with its nickel-plated construction that fights off rust and wear. It's lightweight (less than a quarter of a pound) and long enough to keep your hand away from the work piece, but short enough to maintain good control. Plus, if the orifice ever gets clogged or worn out, you can swap it out with a replacement part (L702-6) instead of buying a whole new tip.

Make sure you are pairing this with the correct handle—the Smith NE180A. It won't fit standard Victor or Harris handles. For welders, plumbers, and auto body techs who trust the Smith name, this genuine replacement tip restores your torch's performance to factory standards. Get the heat you need with the convenience you deserve.
