Victor CutSkill FBT-2 Torch Mount Flashback Arrestor Set

Stop Flashbacks at the Source

When you are working with an oxy-fuel torch, safety is the one thing you can't compromise on. The Victor CutSkill FBT-2 Flashback Arrestors are your personal bodyguards against one of the most dangerous events in welding: a flashback. A flashback occurs when the flame travels back up into the torch and potentially into the hoses, which can lead to catastrophic equipment failure or injury. These torch-mount arrestors are designed to stop that fire dead in its tracks right at the handle, keeping you and your gear safe.

Unlike simple check valves that only stop gas from flowing the wrong way, the FBT-2 units are true flashback arrestors. They contain a specialized sintered metal filter that quenches the flame instantly. Of course, they also include built-in check valves to prevent gas mixing in the first place. This dual protection gives you peace of mind, knowing that you have a fail-safe system installed between your torch and your hoses. They are sold as a pair, so you get one for your oxygen line and one for your fuel line.

Installation is incredibly easy. If you have a standard cutting torch or welding handle, chances are it uses "B-size" fittings (9/16"-18 threads). These arrestors screw right onto the torch inlets. They are compact enough that they won't get in your way or make the torch feel heavy and unbalanced. The oxygen unit is green with right-hand threads, and the fuel unit is red with left-hand threads (indicated by the groove on the nut), so you can't mix them up. Whether you are running acetylene, propane, or natural gas, these Victor arrestors are a must-have upgrade for any cutting rig. Don't rely on luck; rely on Victor safety engineering.

Remember, safety gear is only effective if it's high quality. Victor is a leader in gas equipment for a reason. The CutSkill series offers professional-grade reliability at a price point that makes sense for any shop or garage. Protect your hoses, protect your regulators, and most importantly, protect yourself with the FBT-2 Flashback Arrestors.
