NE180-2 - Smith NE180-2 Handi-Heet Medium Air/Acetylene Soldering Tip

Precision Air/Acetylene Soldering Tip

The Miller Smith NE180-2 is a high-performance medium soldering tip designed exclusively for the Handi-Heet and Silver Smith air/acetylene torch systems. Engineered for professionals who demand reliability and precision, this tip delivers a consistent 7500 BTU output, making it an optimal choice for a wide range of soft soldering and heating applications. The unit operates using atmospheric air and acetylene, providing an economical yet effective heat source without the need for oxygen cylinders.

Constructed with a robust nickel-plated finish, the NE180-2 is built to withstand the rigors of daily industrial use while resisting corrosion and heat degradation. The tip features a specialized slip-in connection mechanism that seats securely into the NE180A torch handle. This design not only ensures a leak-proof seal but also allows the operator to rotate the tip to any angle while the flame is active. This 360-degree articulation is critical for navigating complex piping runs or accessing confined spaces in automotive body work.

Maintenance and usability are at the forefront of the NE180-2's design. The tip requires only hand tightening, eliminating the need for wrenches and reducing setup time. Furthermore, the internal orifice (part number L702-6) is replaceable, allowing users to service the tip rather than replacing the entire unit if a blockage or wear occurs. With a length of 6.875 inches and a lightweight profile of 0.16 lbs, it offers excellent balance and reduced operator fatigue during extended use.

This component is strictly compatible with Smith Equipment's NE180A handle series. It is not suitable for standard oxy-fuel handles or other brand connectors. By maintaining the correct equipment pairing, operators ensure maximum safety and flame stability. Whether used for HVAC installations, plumbing repairs, or automotive body leading, the NE180-2 represents the quality and durability expected from Miller Smith equipment.
