- Smiths Little Torches are easy to add into your set up and can be used for close up, precise work. Martin shows how easy it is, with splitter kits, how easy it would be to cut one in at home yourself.

You sound like TV Chef James Martin 😅
He actually lives about 40 miles from us
Man eye was looking everywhere for how to do this properly.
But why did you have to use one with a nipple and one without
Can you to put a splitter on the Oxygen the same way as the Propane or is a separate tank required?
yup, but be sure to use only oxygen compatible tubing and fittings. a spark arrestor/flashback isn't a bad idea either.
Yes you can put a oxygen splitter on as well but make sure it is a brass splitter as pressure from an oxygen cylinder is high pressure
Do you only need propane for the Smith torch?
Hi , No you will need oxygen as well as the Smiths Little torch is a dual fuel torch ,propane and oxygen
Propane and oxygen as it is is a dual fuel torch , 2 fuels but you can always use an oxy-con as opposed to oxygen cylinders
how did you do your oxygen set up?
It’s been run off a standard 5 litre oxy-con so with a UK oxygen nut and tail it bolts directly to the torch hose
What psi is the propane running on? I use a community studio and I was thinking of putting quick connects on the smith torch to hook into the bench propane (10psi)/oxy (30 psi) and wasn't sure if that would be a problem for the smith torch
That would be too high , ideally the psi on propane would be 1 -1 1/2 psi depending on the tip your using on the torch
Why didn't you use tephlon tape on the connections
Smith torches are best when they have aftermarket tips.. original tips constantly blow out
Hello Robert, we always find that with new threads and joints there is no need for tape.
@@Tuffnellglass , using a sealant wether its tape or a joint compound is industry standard... you're not putting safety first and teaching others to be just as ignorant... I'd bet your setup hasn't been inspected
@@robertstahlnecker9921 panties in a bunch much lol? or did you just get on youtube to take out your marital frustrations on a random person?
@@wyrdo1501 .. if you're ignorant about the safety issue.. look it up... its important to be safe when using gas fittings .. your pathetic attempt at insults reminds me of the 6th grade
@@robertstahlnecker9921 im all about being safe. but snarky comments and talking about having an inspector come out to check a very low pressure setup thats about as dangerous as a damn small bbq grill is just a little ridiculous dont you think?
I wish I understood the English language with that accent I'm missing every other word
