The Victor – FBR-1 Flashback Arrestor is engineered to safeguard oxy-fuel systems by preventing dangerous flashbacks and reverse gas flow. Installed directly on the regulator, it stops flames from traveling back into the gas source and prevents accidental mixing of oxygen and fuel gases in hoses.
Constructed with a brass housing and a stainless steel sintered flame filter, the device ensures durability and reliable flame arresting. It is compatible with Victor 300 and 400 series torch handles and attachments, making it a trusted safety accessory for professional welding and cutting operations.
Each unit is 100% factory tested to guarantee performance and reliability. Victor strongly recommends the use of flashback arrestors and check valves whenever possible to enhance operator safety.
