Each arrestor has a stainless steel flame arrestor and a non-return valve. Together they stop a flashback, backfire or sustained backfire from burning back through the hoses, and stop reverse-flowing gas from mixing in the hose and supply system. The set is compliant with AS 4603, ISO 5175-1 and UL 1357, and it suits standard-flow cutting, welding, brazing and heating work where very high gas flows aren’t needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Torch-Mounted Flashback Arrestors Matter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA flashback happens when mixed gas inside the torch ignites and burns back against the gas flow, into the hoses and towards the regulator and cylinder. It can travel faster than an operator can react. The result can be anything from sooted hoses to an equipment fire or explosion. If you hear a loud pop or bang from the torch, the flashback has already happened.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eArrestors fitted at the torch stop the flame and any reverse gas flow at the first point it can enter the system, before it reaches the hoses.
