OVERVIEW

High-Performance Heating with the ESAB Rosebud Tip

The ESAB Rosebud Heating Tip O-FG #100 is an essential accessory for professionals requiring efficient, high-volume heat output for industrial applications. Known colloquially as a "rosebud" due to its flower-like multi-flame configuration, this tip is engineered to deliver a large, soft flame that wraps around workpieces, ensuring even heat distribution. This is particularly critical in tasks such as preheating heavy plates before welding, straightening bent steel structures, or applying heat for shrink-fitting applications.

Designed for use with Oxy-Fuel Gas (O-FG), this tip is typically optimized for alternative fuels such as Propane, Natural Gas, or Propylene, which are often preferred for heating applications due to their cost-effectiveness and safety profile compared to acetylene in large volumes. The "#100" designation indicates a specific size class, suggesting a substantial flow rate capability suitable for medium-to-heavy duty tasks. The tip features precision-drilled ports that stabilize the flame, preventing flashbacks and ensuring consistent performance even during prolonged use.

Durability is a key component of the ESAB heating tip line. Constructed from high-quality copper and brass alloys, the tip withstands the intense reflected heat generated during operation. Whether you are working in a fabrication shop, a shipyard, or on a pipeline, having a reliable heating tip like the O-FG #100 ensures that you can bring materials to the required temperature quickly, reducing downtime and improving the quality of subsequent welding or forming processes.

Key Applications

  • Preheating: Bringing base metals to specific temperatures to prevent cracking during welding.
  • Straightening: Applying localized heat to correct warping in steel structures.
  • Bending: Softening metal bars or pipes for shaping.
  • Brazing: Providing broad heat coverage for large brazing joints.

FAQ

A rosebud tip is a multi-flame heating tip used to apply large amounts of heat to a wide area of metal. It is commonly used for preheating, bending, straightening, and brazing.

O-FG typically stands for Oxy-Fuel Gas. In the context of heating tips, it often indicates the tip is designed for use with alternative fuel gases like Propane, Natural Gas, or Propylene, rather than Acetylene.

You must check the specific manufacturer rating for the gas type. Generally, tips marked 'FG' are for alternative fuels. Using Acetylene with large heating tips requires careful attention to cylinder withdrawal rates to prevent solvent withdrawal; alternative fuels are safer for large heating demands.

This tip is designed to fit specific torch handles compatible with the ESAB/Victor style connection. Please verify your torch handle series (e.g., 100 series, 300 series) matches the tip size and seating style.

A cutting tip focuses heat in a small spot to pierce metal, whereas a rosebud spreads heat over a larger area, making it much more efficient and effective for heating metal through without melting it.

Use a specialized tip cleaner set with the correct wire sizes for the multiple orifices. Gently clean the holes to remove carbon buildup and spatter without enlarging them.

Always ensure you have sufficient gas flow to prevent the tip from overheating (starving the tip). Use flashback arrestors and check connections for leaks. Wear appropriate PPE including shaded goggles.
