Gentec Compact Torch kit. This is a slightly different version of the Gentec Small Torch that has larger diameter tips (while maintaining the same size port for pinpoint laser flames), which allow for better gas flow reducing blow outs and increasing the range of flames it can produce.
It features a durable chrome plated brass body, stainless steel inner gas tubes, 12' of hose, and 4 tips: #6, #7, a 4 hole rosebud for a little more firepower, and a small port twin tip that is flexible to change the angle of cross fire. The tips have a double o-ring configuration (instead of the compression fitting used on the Small torch) for better leak proof seals, and can be changed on the fly with the handwheel nut - no wrench needed.
The Compact torch is different from the Small Torch and does not accept Small Torch or Smith tips.
I worked out a deal with Gentec to supply me with these new kits which now have the #7 tip instead of the #4 it used to come with to better serve the glass blowing and artist/hobby community. The #7 is a great tip, with a large range of flames from pinpoint laser to a larger flame, and lights easily and stays lit well, even at higher pressures. This is a great torch, and the one I personally use in my studio daily.
I sell this torch kit for $155 + shipping which is the best price you will find as well as the only kits with the #7 tip.
I also handle wholesale accounts for the Gentec line, so if you have a supply store and want to carry these, contact me and I can get you set up!
