The Smith NE835A Handi-Heet is an acetylene atmospheric-air torch kit designed for jewelry soldering, annealing, brazing, and small ingot melts all without an oxygen tank. Built around the same machined solid-brass Silversmith torch handle (NE-180A) used in the Silversmith kit, the NE835A adds three larger slip-in tips for faster heat delivery on bigger work. The kit connects to a standard B acetylene tank (not included) via a 12-foot twin hose with USA standard B fittings. Recommended fuel pressure is 1314 psi across all included tips, and the flame reaches an operating temperature of approximately 4700F (2630C).
Features
- Acetylene and atmospheric air no oxygen tank required
- Slip-in tips with O-ring seal; rotate to any position without a wrench
- Full-length fluted brass handle for a secure, comfortable grip
- Precise needle valve for fine flame adjustment
- Single-stage regulator delivers steady, consistent fuel pressure
- USA standard B (9/16″18 LH) hose connections
- Torch handle backed by a 12-month warranty (tips excluded)
