11-1110 - Smith Little Torch Kit with European Hose Connections

Precision Micro-Welding with European Compatibility

The Smith Equipment 11-1110 Little Torch is a specialized oxy-fuel torch outfit designed for precision fabrication, repair, and micro-joining applications. Distinguished by its hose configuration, this model is terminated with European-style fittings, making it the correct choice for users operating with regulators that adhere to European connection standards (often BSP or metric variants distinct from US 'A' or 'B' fittings). This compatibility ensures a secure, leak-free gas delivery system without the need for potentially unsafe adapters.

Engineered for versatility, the Little Torch operates with oxygen and a variety of fuel gases, including acetylene, hydrogen, propane, propylene, MAPP, or natural gas. The kit typically includes five curved tips (sizes #3 through #7), which feature sapphire crystal inserts to ensure a perfectly consistent flame shape and long-term durability. These tips allow the operator to produce a flame small enough to fit through the eye of a needle or large enough to cast small amounts of metal. The torch body itself is constructed from a lightweight aluminum alloy, ensuring it remains cool to the touch during extended operation while offering exceptional durability.

Technically, the torch provides infinite control over the flame via easily accessible knobs on the handle, allowing for adjustments from a harsh, oxidized flame to a soft, reducing flame instantly. With a maximum temperature capability of 6300°F (depending on the fuel gas used), it is capable of welding steel up to 1/8 inch thick and melting up to 3 ounces of silver. The 8-foot dual hose provides ample reach for bench work, ensuring the operator is not restricted by short lines.
