Flashback Arrestor Oxygen Acetylene/Fuel Safety Valve Welding/Cutting Torch 8mm/0.31" or 6mm/0.24" Hose Flame Buster
Purpose:
Prevents a flame from traveling past the flashback arrestor in the event of a flashback.
Never connect a torch to acetylene and oxygen tanks(cylinders) without installing a set of flashback arrestors at the Torch/Hose/Regulator.
Without these safety devices, it is possible a flash can occur within the hose, and ultimately follow back into the tanks, causing an explosion.
This would be an extremely rare occurrence, but flashback arrestors will make it a "never" occurrence.
Check valves are only a first line of defense and may not ultimately stop a flashback. Only the flashback arrestors will.
Highlights:
-
High quality brass construction, case is rugged and corrosion resistant.
-
Color coded for safety. (Oxygen are defined in Blue/Green in different country, our label normally is green).
-
Solid Brass construction for long life, 100% tested for reliability.
-
Oxygen P max=1.5bar/21psi; Acetylene(Fuel) P max=20bar/290psi.
-
Oxygen Working Flow 7000LT/H; Acetylene(Fuel) Working Flow 2600LT/H.
-
Fits most the welding/cutting twin hose sets.
-
The acetylene arrestor in this set can also be used for Propane or Mapp gas.
Fitting:
2 styles for different pipe inner diameter for option:
6mm/0.24" pipe version;
8mm/0.31" pipe version.
Note:
The use of both regulator and torch mount flashback arrestors with heavy industry equipment requiring high gas volume is not
recommended because it may cause excessive flow restriction. It is always better to place the safety devices at the rear of
the torch than at the regulator in order to protect the hose.
