SW210 - Smith SW210 Heavy Duty Soft Flame Welding Tip 1/2 Inch

Smith Equipment SW210 Heavy Duty Acetylene Welding Tip

The Smith Equipment SW210 is a premium heavy-duty welding tip designed for professional fabricators who demand precision and durability in their oxy-acetylene operations. Part of the renowned SW200 Series, this 1/2-inch tip is engineered to deliver superior performance in both general and heavy welding or brazing applications. At the core of its performance is Smith's proprietary "Soft Flame" technology. Unlike conventional tips that may produce a harsh, turbulent flame, the SW210 utilizes a swaged construction method. This manufacturing process smooths the internal gas path, resulting in a stable, concentrated flame that significantly improves puddle control. By reducing turbulence, the operator can maintain a consistent molten pool without the frustration of "puddle chasing," leading to higher quality welds with better penetration and aesthetics.

Durability is a hallmark of the Smith SW210. The tip is manufactured from heavy-wall copper, a material choice that serves a critical thermal function. In heavy-duty applications, reflected heat from the workpiece can overheat and damage standard tips. The thick copper walls of the SW210 efficiently dissipate this heat, allowing the tip to run cooler and last longer, even under continuous use. This thermal efficiency is complemented by the physical robustness of the tip, making it resistant to the knocks and drops common in industrial environments. The tip is bent to a precise 63.5-degree angle, an ergonomic design choice that provides optimal visibility and hand positioning during complex welding tasks.

Operational efficiency is further enhanced by Smith's innovative Slip-In tip design. Traditional welding tips often require wrenches for installation, which can lead to thread damage and lost time. The SW210 features a hand-tightened connection mechanism that allows for tip changes in as little as 6 seconds. This quick-change capability is invaluable in high-production settings where switching between tip sizes is frequent. The SW210 is fully compatible with Smith WH200 and SW1B torch handles, as well as legacy SW1 and SW2 models, ensuring seamless integration into existing equipment setups. While optimized for Acetylene, this versatile tip can also be utilized for brazing with propylene-based fuel gases when properly sized, offering flexibility for various shop requirements.
