Reply:Yes, it's Prostar, which is the house brand for Praxair. That regulator is made by Victor and rebranded. Other companies, like Harris and Bernard, also make products for Praxair under the Prostar brand.Airgas also does the same and has a brand called Radnor."Where's Stick man????????" - 7A749"SHHHHHH!!

Reply:My acetylene reg will fit propane too, to switching Originally Posted by DanD78I hope you didn't buy a new regulator just for propane.  Your acetylene regulator will work with an adapter or change the nipple on the regulator to a propane one.Dan

Reply:Propane rosebuds are called (type 55) and come in sizes 6, 8, 10, 15, and 20. They usually come on a stainless tube insead of copper. The 10 15 and 20 sizes are monsters. They are usually 36 inches long and put out way more heat than acetalene.  I think the 20 is something like 1.25 million btu'sThey are spendy (over 300 new) but I have picked up 4 from ebay for 50-90 ea.
