Precision Heating with the Smith Little Torch #7 Tip

The Smith Little Torch #7 Curved Tip (12-1401-07) represents the upper end of power for the legendary Little Torch system. Designed for artisans, jewelers, and tradespeople who require both precision and substantial heat, this tip transforms your miniature torch into a capable tool for heavier applications. Whether you are annealing larger metal pieces, performing metal sculpture, or engaging in glass blowing, the #7 tip delivers the thermal energy needed without sacrificing the control that defines the Smith Little Torch experience.

At the heart of this tip lies Smith's signature engineering: a synthetic sapphire orifice. Unlike standard drilled metal tips that can wear unevenly or suffer from flame distortion, the laser-drilled sapphire insert ensures a perfectly round aperture. This results in a flame that is incredibly stable, consistent, and pointed, allowing you to direct 9,200 BTUs of heat exactly where it is needed. The curved design of the neck further enhances usability, providing better ergonomics and visibility when working around complex geometries or in tight spaces.

Versatility is a key advantage of the #7 size. While smaller tips in the series are often restricted to Acetylene or Hydrogen, the #7 tip's larger orifice (.047") allows it to function efficiently with a wide variety of fuel gases, including Propane, Propylene, Natural Gas, and MAPP. This flexibility makes it an excellent choice for studios and workshops that utilize alternative fuel sources. From plumbing repairs on copper pipes to creating intricate metal artwork, this genuine Smith tip ensures your equipment performs at its peak.
