1882 - Smith Little Torch Replacement Tailpiece 1882

Precision Replacement for Industrial Micro-Torches

The Miller 1882 Tailpiece is a critical replacement component designed specifically for the industry-standard The Little Torch system. Manufactured by Miller (formerly branded under Smith Equipment), this tailpiece serves as the foundational connection point between the gas supply hose and the torch body or regulator fittings. In industrial and precision MRO environments where equipment integrity is paramount, using genuine OEM parts like the 1882 ensures that safety standards are maintained and equipment downtime is minimized.

Constructed from high-quality machined brass, this tailpiece is engineered to withstand the rigors of daily use in jewelry manufacturing, dental laboratories, and electronic repair facilities. The brass material offers excellent resistance to corrosion and deformation, ensuring a long service life even under frequent pressure cycling. The precise machining of the barb and seating surface guarantees a gas-tight seal when paired with the appropriate coupling nut and hose, which is essential for preventing hazardous gas leaks in oxy-fuel setups.

Maintenance professionals understand that the integrity of a welding torch begins at the connection points. A worn or damaged tailpiece can lead to flow restrictions, turbulence in the gas stream, or dangerous leaks. By replacing compromised components with the Miller 1882, technicians restore the torch to factory specifications. This part is compatible with standard Little Torch hose assemblies and is an essential stock item for any shop relying on these versatile micro-torches for intricate brazing and soldering tasks.
