15846-1 - Miller 15846-1 Replacement Oxygen Lever for Gas Axe Torches

Restore Precision to Your Heavy-Duty Cutting Operations

The Miller 15846-1 Lever is a critical replacement component designed specifically for the legendary Smith Equipment "Gas Axe" series of heavy-duty cutting torches. In the world of industrial scrapping, demolition, and steel fabrication, the cutting torch is a primary tool, and the lever is its trigger. Over time, the cutting oxygen lever can become bent, worn, or loose due to the extreme environments and rough handling typical of these industries. This genuine OEM part ensures that your torch operates exactly as the manufacturer intended, maintaining safety standards and operational efficiency.

Manufactured to the precise dimensional specifications of the original SC series torches, this lever provides the correct leverage ratio required to actuate the high-flow oxygen valve found in Gas Axe models. A compromised lever can lead to hand fatigue, difficulty in initiating the cut, or even safety hazards if the oxygen flow cannot be engaged or disengaged smoothly. By replacing a damaged lever with this authentic Miller/Smith component, you eliminate play in the mechanism and restore the tactile feedback necessary for making clean, precise cuts through thick steel plate.

Installation is straightforward for maintenance personnel familiar with oxy-fuel apparatus. The lever is designed to fit seamlessly into the pivot mechanism of the torch handle, aligning perfectly with the valve pin. Using non-OEM parts on high-pressure oxygen equipment can be risky; therefore, sticking to the specific 15846-1 part number guarantees material compatibility and structural integrity. Whether you are refurbishing an older Smith torch or repairing a unit that took a hard fall, this lever is the essential piece to get your equipment back in the field.
