Flash Back Arrestor Oxygen

This Flash Back Arrestor Oxygen is a Non-resettable device which connects to the regulator as a safety function to protect cylinders, regulators and distribution lines.

Used in oxy/fuel gas cutting & welding, a flashback arrestor will withstand a series of minor flashbacks but will not react as a consequence of external heat.

It is a legal requirement to use a flash back arrestor when using all oxy/fuel cutting and welding sets.  A flashback arrestor must be used on each gas supply – both oxygen and fuel gas.  A very inexpensive way to work safely and legally.

If a flashback occurs, it is important to investigate immediately to prevent any future issues.

The main cause for many flashbacks are due to incorrect initial lighting up procedures and a failure to purge the gases correctly.
Another common cause of flash backs is lighting up with too low a fuel gas flow combined with a leaking oxygen valve. Always check your equipment for leaks.
