13238 - Miller 13238 Replacement Nipple for Little Torch

Genuine Replacement Component for Precision Oxy-Fuel Systems

The Miller 13238 Nipple is a critical replacement component engineered specifically for the renowned Little Torch system. Originally developed by Smith Equipment and now manufactured under the Miller Electric brand, the Little Torch is the industry standard for micro-welding, brazing, and soldering applications. This nipple serves as a vital interface point within the torch assembly, typically facilitating the connection between the gas supply hoses and the torch body. Maintaining the integrity of these connections is paramount for safe operation and precise flame control.

Manufactured from high-quality brass, the 13238 Nipple is designed to withstand the rigors of daily industrial and artistic use. Brass is chosen for its excellent resistance to corrosion and its durability in oxy-fuel environments. The precision machining of this component ensures a tight, leak-free seal when paired with the appropriate nut and hose assembly. In systems dealing with combustible gases like acetylene, propane, or hydrogen alongside oxygen, preventing leaks is a primary safety concern. Using genuine OEM parts like this nipple guarantees that tolerances match the original equipment specifications, thereby mitigating risks associated with ill-fitting generic components.

This part is essential for maintenance and repair protocols for the Little Torch. Over time, threads can wear, and sealing surfaces can become marred, potentially compromising the gas flow. Replacing worn nipples restores the torch to its factory operating condition, ensuring a stable and consistent flame. This consistency is crucial for the delicate work often performed with the Little Torch, such as jewelry repair, dental lab fabrication, and electronics assembly. By investing in the Miller 13238 Nipple, operators ensure the longevity of their equipment and the quality of their craftsmanship.

The product is supplied as a single unit, allowing for targeted replacement of damaged parts without the need to purchase entire assemblies. It is compatible with the standard Little Torch configurations used across various industries. Whether for a professional workshop or a specialized laboratory, this genuine Miller part provides the reliability and performance assurance that professionals demand from their precision tools.
