The Smith Little Torch Acetylene Caddy Outfit (SKU: 23-1004A) is a comprehensive solution designed for professionals requiring high-precision metal joining capabilities in a portable form factor. Manufactured by Smith Equipment (Miller Smith), this kit is engineered to provide a stable, concentrated flame capable of reaching temperatures up to 6000°F, making it suitable for welding, brazing, and soldering a wide variety of commercially weldable metals, glass, and ceramics.
The core of this outfit is the 11-1101C Little Torch, a lightweight aluminum alloy torch body weighing only 1.5 ounces. It is paired with five curved tips (sizes #3 through #7), allowing operators to adjust flame size for materials ranging from microscopic filaments to 1/8-inch thick steel. The gas delivery system features a Grade T twin hose, ensuring compatibility with alternative fuel gases if the user switches tips and regulators in the future. The included regulators are specific to the supplied tanks: a 30-15-200 regulator for the MC Acetylene cylinder (CGA 200 connection) and a 30-20-540 regulator for the 20 cu. ft. Oxygen cylinder (CGA 540 connection).
Designed for field service and compact workstations, the entire system is housed in a durable plastic caddy carrier. The fully assembled kit weighs less than 32 lbs, facilitating easy transport between job sites. Safety is paramount in the 23-1004A configuration, which includes a pair of reverse flow check valves to prevent gas backflow. The cylinders provided (10 cu. ft. Acetylene and 20 cu. ft. Oxygen) are shipped empty to comply with shipping regulations and can be filled at standard welding supply distributors.
This outfit offers unmatched flexibility for intricate applications. While configured for acetylene, the Little Torch itself can handle hydrogen, propane, propylene, and natural gas with appropriate consumables. In its stock configuration, it provides the thermal output necessary to melt up to 3 ounces of silver or gold, making it a standard tool in dental laboratories, jewelry manufacturing, and electronics repair.
