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.
