The Smith Quickbraze Single-Flame Brazing Tip, identified by SKU 16586 (and commonly referred to as the S6 tip), is a specialized component designed for the Smith Quickbraze oxy-fuel system. Engineered for precision and thermal efficiency, this tip provides a concentrated heat source capable of generating up to 7,360 BTUs. It is specifically calibrated for brazing copper tubing with outer diameters ranging from 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch, making it a standard requirement for HVAC/R technicians and plumbers dealing with medium-gauge piping.
One of the defining technical characteristics of the 16586 tip is its "Any Fuel Gas" compatibility. Unlike tips designed solely for oxy-acetylene or oxy-propane, the S6 geometry allows for stable flame propagation using Acetylene, Propane, Propylene, or Natural Gas, provided the correct pressures are maintained at the regulator. This versatility ensures that the tip can be integrated into various existing shop setups without the need for dedicated fuel cylinders specific to the tip.
The tip features a curved design to facilitate access around piping installed in tight spaces, such as evaporator coils or inside appliance cabinetry. As a direct replacement for the legacy S6 Quickbraze tip, it maintains the exact flow rates and orifice sizing required for optimal combustion in Quickbraze handles. The single-flame configuration offers a focused cone, ideal for capillary action in brazing joints where overheating surrounding components must be avoided.
