Smith Little Torch Multi-Orifice Heating Tip for Propane and Natural Gas

Master Your Craft with the Smith Little Torch Heating Tip

For jewelers, glass blowers, and metal artists, control is everything. The Smith Little Torch Heating Tip #13717 is the ultimate accessory for your Little Torch, transforming it into a powerhouse capable of melting up to 3 ounces of gold or silver. If you have been looking for a way to get more heat out of your torch without sacrificing the lightweight maneuverability you love, this is the solution. Designed specifically to run on Propane or Natural Gas, this tip frees you from the constraints of acetylene, allowing you to use cleaner-burning, readily available, and often safer fuel options in your studio or workshop.

The 13717 tip features a 6-inch long neck, a thoughtful design element that keeps your hands cool and comfortable while you work on larger heating projects. This extra length also gives you better visibility and reach, perfect for getting into tight spots on a sculpture or applying heat exactly where you need it on a complex jewelry piece. The multi-flame head produces a bushy, soft, yet intensely hot flame that wraps around your workpiece, ensuring even heating. This is crucial when you are annealing metal, casting small ingots, or working with glass, as it prevents hot spots that could cause cracking or uneven melting. It is the perfect bridge between a micro-flame and a full-sized industrial torch.

Versatility is at the heart of this product. Whether you are plumbing a custom fixture, repairing electronic components, or creating a silver ring, this tip adapts to your needs. On Propane, it cranks out nearly 3,500 BTUs, giving you the punch needed for heavier tasks. If you are hooked up to a Natural Gas line, it provides a steady 2,300 BTUs, perfect for consistent bench work. The setup is straightforward—simply screw it onto your Smith Little Torch handle, adjust your regulators to the recommended settings (14 PSI Oxygen/10 PSI Propane or 7 PSI Oxygen/5 PSI Natural Gas), and you are ready to go. No complex adapters or modifications are required.

Investing in genuine Smith Equipment consumables means investing in longevity and safety. The 13717 is built to last, resisting clogging and wear better than generic knock-offs. It allows you to expand the capabilities of your Little Torch beyond simple soldering, opening up new possibilities for casting and larger-scale fabrication. Whether you are a hobbyist making your first pendant or a professional metalsmith running a busy repair shop, the Smith 13717 Heating Tip is an essential tool that delivers reliable, high-quality heat every time you light it up.
