239-193 - Smith Handi-Heet Silver Smith Air/Acetylene Soldering Outfit

Precision Air/Acetylene Soldering System

The Smith 239-193 Handi-Heet / Silver Smith Outfit is a premium air-fuel torch system designed specifically for precision applications such as jewelry making, silver smithing, and detailed hobby work. Unlike standard oxy-fuel setups, this system utilizes acetylene combined with atmospheric air to produce a clean, soft flame with a working temperature of approximately 1700°F. This temperature is ideal for soldering and light brazing where control is paramount to avoid damaging delicate base metals.

At the core of this outfit is the NE180A torch handle, machined from solid brass and finished with nickel plating. This construction ensures longevity and resistance to heat, unlike plastic alternatives that may degrade over time. The handle features a full-length fluted grip for stability during intricate work and a needle valve that offers exceptional flame adjustment capabilities. The system employs Smith's renowned slip-in tip design, allowing the operator to seat the tip perfectly by hand without wrenches. This design also permits the tip to be rotated to any position, providing maximum ergonomic comfort during extended use.

The kit comes complete with a 30-15-520 single-stage regulator designed for "B" size acetylene tanks (40 cu ft) with a CGA 520 connection. It also includes a 12.5-foot Grade R hose, providing ample reach for workbench applications. The included NE180-00 tip delivers a super-fine flame pattern, ensuring heat is applied exactly where needed. This outfit represents a complete solution for professionals requiring a reliable, high-quality atmospheric torch system.
