where i come from (n.y.c.) a rosebud is an oxy~acetylene tip or attachment that's used to pre-heat weld joints or heating material prior to bending or forging. the air only torch used in sweating plumbing and/or refrigeration lines is called a turbo torch. for general burning (up to 5" thick)and (rosebud) heating i set the oxygen regulator to 40psi and the acetelene to 10psi. for brazing and silver soldering i reduce these settings by half, 20 and 5psi. there is a large propane heating torch used in roofing and general heating jobs that's also called a rosebud. yeah, it's confusing isn't it?
i set mine at 40# oxy and 5-7# for general cutting. i found that dropping the oxy to 20# for rosebud operation works well. the setting is usually indicative of the btu rating of the tip. the torch manu. should be helpful like the chart i just saw
