Victor 0656-0004 Regulator Mount Flashback Arrestors

Upgrade your welding safety gear with the Victor 0656-0004 FBR-1 Flashback Arrestor Set. Flashbacks are among the most dangerous hazards in gas welding and cutting, capable of causing equipment damage and serious injury. This regulator-mount kit is an essential safeguard, designed to prevent flames from traveling upstream into your gas cylinders. The set includes two arrestors: one for oxygen (green label, right-hand thread) and one for fuel gas (red label, left-hand thread), ensuring correct installation every time.

These heavy-duty arrestors are equipped with standard "B" connections (9/16"-18), fitting easily onto most standard oxygen and acetylene/fuel regulators. Inside each brass housing lies advanced safety technology. A reverse flow check valve stops gas from backing up into the regulator, while a specialized sintered metal filter arrests the flame front of a flashback. This dual-action defense is critical for preventing cylinder explosions and regulator failure.

Unlike smaller, restrictive arrestors, the Victor FBR-1 is built for high-flow applications. Whether you are using a heavy-duty cutting torch or a large rosebud heating tip, these arrestors allow sufficient gas volume to pass through, maintaining a stable and hot flame. Victor recommends the use of these devices whenever possible to meet safety regulations and protect operators. Easy to install and reliable, the FBR-1 set is a smart investment for any professional welder or fabricator.
