OVERVIEW

Stay Safe with the CV-20R Oxygen Torch Check Valve

Safety is the number one priority when working with oxy-fuel equipment. The CV-20R Oxygen Torch Check Valve is an essential accessory for any welder or fabricator using a cutting torch. Its primary job is to stop gas from flowing the wrong way. If oxygen were to back up into your fuel line, or vice versa, it could create a highly explosive mixture. This check valve acts as a one-way street for your oxygen, ensuring it flows to the tip where you need it, but never back into the hose.

Designed for durability and ease of use, this valve features a rugged brass body that stands up to the daily abuse of a welding shop. It installs in seconds between your torch handle and your oxygen hose. Because it uses standard "B" Size fittings with Right Hand threads, it fits almost all standard torches from major brands like Victor, Harris, and Uniweld. You don't need special adapters or tools—just a wrench to tighten it down securely.

Why You Need Check Valves

  • Prevent Mixed Gases: Stops the dangerous condition where fuel and oxygen mix in the hose.
  • Protect Equipment: Keeps contaminants and back-pressure from damaging your regulators and hoses.
  • Peace of Mind: Allows you to focus on your cut or weld knowing you have an extra layer of safety.

Simple Upgrade for Any Torch

If your torch doesn't have built-in check valves, adding the CV-20R is one of the smartest and most affordable upgrades you can make. It is compact and lightweight, so it won't throw off the balance of your torch or make it heavy to hold during long cuts. Remember, check valves are mechanical devices, so it's good practice to inspect them periodically to make sure they are clean and working freely. Equip your rig with the CV-20R today and weld with confidence.

FAQ

The CV-20R prevents the reverse flow of gases. It ensures oxygen flows only towards the torch tip and prevents it from backing up into the hose, which could cause dangerous gas mixing.

No, this is a check valve. It stops reverse gas flow but does not stop a flame front (flashback). Flashback arrestors are a separate safety device, though some units combine both functions.

It has "B" Size (9/16"-18) Right Hand threads, which is the industry standard for oxygen connections on torches and hoses.

This model is designed to be installed on the torch inlet. You screw the valve onto the torch, and then connect your oxygen hose to the valve.

No. This specific valve (CV-20R) is for Oxygen only and has Right Hand threads. Fuel gas valves have Left Hand threads (usually marked with a notch) to prevent cross-connection.

All valves add a slight amount of restriction, but high-quality check valves like the CV-20R are designed to minimize flow drop so that cutting and welding performance is not affected under normal pressures.

They should be tested regularly (at least once a year or if a flashback occurs) for leaks and reverse flow. If they fail a test, they must be replaced immediately.
