FLASH BACK ARRESTOR CONNECTION FOR OXYGEN

FLASHBACK ARRESTOR FOR OXYGEN GAS HOSES

A non-resettable flashback arrestor for use with Oxygen gases with 3/8 BSP RH connections.  Fitted next to the regulator and before the fuel gas hose, a flashback arrestor is an essential safety device when using oxy fuel equipment.

The main function of the flashback arrestor is to prevent gas mixtures occurring with potentially very dangerous consequences.  An FBA (Flashback arrestor) should be fitted to both the Fuel gas and Oxygen hose lines.  A fuel gas FBA has a left hand thread, whilst Oxygen flashback arrestors have a right hand thread.  The difference in thread direction being another safety device to stop a mix up of equipment and potential gas mixtures being possible.

The flashback arrestor incorporates a pressure sensitive cut off valve or a non return valve, plus a temperature sensitive cut off valve.

These particular flashback arrestors are classed as non resettable.  If the FBA is triggered due to an internal temperature cut off, it will no longer be useable and must be re-placed.  They will withstand a series of minor flashbacks but will not react as a consequence of external heat though.  For resettable flashback arrestors, please see our associated listings.

Please note that flashback arrestors are date stamped and should be replaced every 5 years.
