Smith Silversmith Torch Handle Only NE-180A

Hold the flame for everything from fine bench soldering to casting and annealing in one handle. The Smith Silversmith Torch Handle NE-180A is a professional-grade acetylene atmospheric torch handle for jewelers, metalsmiths, and silversmiths, sold as the handle only so you can configure the torch for your specific work. The hose connection uses the USA standard B (9/16") fitting.

Acetylene atmospheric torch systems burn hotter than propane, producing a smaller, more intense flame. That makes the Smith Silversmith Torch well suited to detailed bench work where precision matters, while still handling larger jobs such as casting silver and gold or annealing metal. The torch body measures 5-3/8" long and operates at an approximate temperature of 4,700°F (2,630°C) with a recommended fuel pressure of 10 psi.
