Smith SC112 Propane Heating Tip 289k BTU

Smith SC112 Heavy Duty Propane Heating Tip

The Smith SC112 is a special purpose, heavy-duty heating tip designed for use with Propane (LP) and Oxygen. It is an essential component for fabricators and welders utilizing Smith SC and DG Series Hand Torches who require substantial heat input for material manipulation. This tip is engineered to maximize the calorific potential of propane, delivering a high-velocity flame capable of rapid heat transfer.

Technical Specifications and Performance

Performance is defined by output, and the SC112 is rated at a massive 289,000 BTUs. This high thermal rating makes it suitable for heavy industrial tasks such as:

• Preheating: Bringing thick materials up to temperature to prevent cracking during welding.
• Straightening: Applying localized heat to correct distortion in steel structures.
• Bending: Softening metal bars, pipes, and plates for forming operations.

The tip utilizes a multi-flame design optimized for LP gas, ensuring a stable flame structure even at high flow rates. The internal geometry is precision-machined to mix oxygen and propane efficiently, minimizing fuel waste while maximizing thermal transfer to the workpiece.

Compatibility and Safety

This tip is exclusively designed for Smith's heavy-duty torch handles, specifically the SC and DG series. It is critical for operators to observe that the SC112 is not compatible with cutting attachments or cutting assemblies; it must be attached directly to the hand torch handle. Attempting to use this high-output tip with incompatible equipment can result in equipment damage or safety hazards. The SC112 represents the robust quality associated with Miller Smith products, offering long service life in harsh shop and field environments. For professionals seeking a dedicated propane heating solution that balances economy with extreme performance, the SC112 is the industry standard.
