The Miller Smith Little Torch 23-1013A is a specialized configuration of the world-renowned Little Torch, specifically engineered with hose connections designed for the Australian market. This kit represents the gold standard in miniature torch technology, offering unparalleled control and versatility for artisans, jewelers, and technicians who demand exactitude in their flame applications. Whether you are repairing intricate jewelry settings, sculpting fine metal, or engaging in precise electronic repairs, this torch outfit provides the stability and heat concentration required for professional results.
At the heart of this system is the 11-1107 torch body, a lightweight and ergonomic handle that reduces operator fatigue during extended sessions of detailed work. The kit is supplied with five curved tips (sizes #3 through #7), allowing users to tailor the flame size to the specific mass and material of the workpiece. The included 8-foot hoses are manufactured to Grade T specifications, ensuring safety and compatibility with all common fuel gases, including acetylene, propane, propylene, hydrogen, and natural gas. This multi-fuel capability is a significant advantage for workshops that may switch fuel sources based on availability or specific heating requirements.
The defining feature of the 23-1013A model is its Australian hose connections. Unlike standard US "B" fittings (9/16"-18), this unit is equipped with 5/8"-18 threads (Left-Hand for fuel, Right-Hand for oxygen), ensuring seamless integration with regulators and equipment standard to the Australian region or specific industrial setups utilizing this thread pitch. This eliminates the need for dangerous or cumbersome adapters, providing a secure, leak-free gas path right out of the box.
From melting up to 3 ounces of gold or silver to welding steel with acetylene, the thermal range of the Little Torch is impressive. It can produce flame temperatures up to 6300°F, sufficient for melting commercially weldable metals, glass, and even ceramics. The sapphire crystals in the tips ensure a perfectly shaped flame, preventing the irregular heat patterns often seen in inferior micro-torches.
