OVERVIEW

Victor Torch Mount Flashback Arrestors (0656-0054)

Don't take chances with your safety when you're under the hood or behind the torch. The Victor 0656-0054 FBA Replacement Pair Set is an essential upgrade for any oxy-fuel setup, giving you peace of mind so you can focus on the cut. Flashbacks are sudden, violent, and can destroy equipment or cause serious injury in a split second. This kit includes a pair of Victor's trusted FBA-1 torch-mount arrestors designed to stop trouble before it starts. By mounting these directly to your torch handle, you stop flames and reverse gas flow at the source, keeping your hoses and tanks safe.

What makes the Victor FBA-1 set superior? It's the combination of a check valve and a flashback arrestor in one small unit. The check valve ensures that gas only flows one way—out to the tip. If a blockage causes gas to back up, the valve slams shut, preventing oxygen and fuel from mixing in the line. If a flashback does occur, the internal sintered metal filter quenches the flame instantly. This double layer of security is packed into a rugged brass body that screws right onto your standard "B" size torch fittings (9/16"-18). They are compact enough not to throw off the balance of your torch, yet tough enough to handle the heat and abuse of a busy shop.

Installation is simple and foolproof thanks to the color-coding: Green goes to your Oxygen inlet, and Red goes to your Fuel inlet (Acetylene, Propane, etc.). Whether you are replacing old, worn-out safety gear or outfitting a new rig, these Victor arrestors are a non-negotiable investment in your personal safety. They work with almost all standard torches and handle a wide range of pressures suitable for cutting, welding, and heating applications. Keep your flame where it belongs—at the tip—with the Victor 0656-0054 Flashback Arrestor Set.

FAQ

Torch mount arrestors (like the Victor 0656-0054) are installed at the torch inlet to stop flashbacks as close to the source as possible, protecting the hose and operator. Regulator mount arrestors are installed at the regulator outlet to protect the cylinders. For maximum safety, some setups use both, but torch mount is often preferred to prevent hose explosions.

Yes, the Victor 0656-0054 is a pair pack containing one oxygen flashback arrestor (green label, right-hand thread) and one fuel gas flashback arrestor (red label, left-hand thread).

Most likely, yes. These arrestors use standard B-Size (9/16"-18) connections, which are the industry standard for most medium and heavy-duty torches, regardless of the brand.

All flashback arrestors create some flow restriction. However, the Victor FBA-1 is designed to provide sufficient flow for most standard cutting and welding applications (cutting up to several inches of steel). For extremely high-flow heating tips, high-flow arrestors may be required.

It is recommended to test flashback arrestors annually and replace them every 5 years, or immediately if a flashback has occurred or if they fail a flow/leak test.

Yes, the fuel gas arrestor in this set is compatible with all standard fuel gases, including Acetylene, Propane, Propylene, and Natural Gas.

This unit contains a reverse flow check valve to prevent gas mixing and a sintered stainless steel flame barrier to extinguish flashbacks.

No, these units have built-in check valves. Adding additional check valves in the same line can cause excessive flow restriction.
