SMITH “SOFT FLAME” - Makes Welding Easier
Smith welding tips are quality engineered to provide easy handling,
high performance and added protection in welding, brazing and
soldering operations.
“Soft Flame” - Makes Welding Easier
Smith “soft flame” welding tips provide concentrated heat for
better “puddle” control — the turbulent-free flame eliminates
puddle chasing. Soft flame provides deep, even penetration
without burning through base metal for strong, dependable
welds. Molten metal is protected from atmospheric oxidation
by smooth, even flame envelope.
Slip-In Tips - Permit 360° Turn
For Convenient Positioning
Tip may be rotated eliminating hose resistance during
operation. “Slip-In” tips can be changed in just seconds.
Hand tighten, no wrench needed. “O” rings provide gas tight
seal. Keeps gases separate until they mix in the tip.
“O” Ring Seals - Highly Reliable Sealing
”O” rings provide gas tight seal with no metal seating surface
to damage if dropped. Gases kept separate until entering
the mixing chamber.
Heavy Wall Copper - Provides Longer Life
The heavy wall copper gives greater resistance to reflected
heat, permits cooler operation, dissipates more heat than thin
wall copper. Heat absorbing tips provide longer life, and the
long straight-away design permits tip refacing after excessive
wear or abuse.
100% TESTED - ASSURED PERFORMANCE
Each tip is individually tested on Smith designed automatic testing
machines and must pass stringent requirements for flame characteristics,
gas flow and resistance to backfire or flashback.

MANIFOLDING CYLINDERS
When required flows (cubic feet per hour - SCFH) exceed the
recommended withdrawal rate from one cylinder then additional
cylinders must be manifolded to provide safe and efficient operation.
Acetylene must not be withdrawn at more than 1/7 of the cylinder
capacity (47 SCFH for a 330 cu. ft. cylinder). Consult your gas supplier
for manifolding instructions for the gases and cylinders supplied to you.
