Vanguard FlameBuster™ Flashback Arrestor. Prevents the reverse flow of gases and flashback into regulator.

Flashback arrestors and reverse flow check valves provide additional protection against flashbacks. Victor recommends the use of these devices when ever possible. Victor addon flashback arrestors contain both a reverse flow check valve and a flashback arrestor.

Due to the high flow requirements of Victor Heavy Industry torches, it is important to use flashback arrestors that have sufficient flow capacity.

Reverse Flow Check Valves: Helps to prevent the reverse flow of gases from traveling past the check valve.

Flashback Arrestors: Prevents a flame from traveling past the flashback arrestor in the event of a flashback.

Note: The use of both regulator and torch mount flashback arrestors with heavy industry apparatus 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
