The ImpGen Cooler Head Tube Adapter transforms your Smith Little Torch by accepting ImpGen Artisan Laminar tips and standard Meco Midget "N" style tips. This kit includes the 1-1/2" adapter and three laminar tips — N00, N0, and N1 — to deliver larger, smoother reducing flames and broaden your bench capabilities. Twin tubes of special 304 stainless steel provide robustness, while a copper ferrule cushions and improves the seal at the torch junction. A brass tip with cooling fins mitigates heat transfer down the head tube, and face-to-face and nose-radius/seat-angle sealing surfaces ensure secure, leak-resistant joints.

Notes
- Always use two wrenches when installing or removing tips — one on the brass heat-sink fins, one on the tip body — to protect seals and maintain integrity.
- After assembly, perform a standard leak check before lighting.
- Follow your torch manufacturer's setup and safe-use guidelines.
- To install: remove the factory Little Torch head tube, screw on the ImpGen Cooler Head Tube hand-tight, then give a firm final turn with a suitable wrench.
