Victor FBP-1 Vanguard Flashback Arrestor Retro-Fit Kit

Get Your Vanguard Torch Back in Action

If your Victor Vanguard torch isn't flowing like it used to, or if you've failed a safety inspection due to clogged or damaged flashback arrestors, the Victor 0656-0046 (FBP-1) Retro-Fit Kit is exactly what you need. We know that in a busy shop, you can't afford to send your favorite torch handle out for weeks of repair or buy a brand new one just because the safety filters are dirty. This kit is designed to let you fix the problem right there on the bench and get back to cutting metal.

The best thing about the FBP-1 kit is how easy it is to install. Older style repairs often involved heating up the handle to break loose old glue or messing around with liquid sealants that take time to cure. This kit changes the game with a simple bolt-on design. You just remove the old plate, pop in the new oxygen and fuel cartridges, and bolt them down with the included retainer plate. No heat, no glue, no mess. The kit even comes with the hex key you need to do the job.

Safety is the number one priority when you are mixing oxygen and fuel gas. These cartridges are genuine Victor parts, meaning they are built to stop flashbacks dead in their tracks while delivering the smooth, consistent gas flow you expect from a Vanguard torch. Whether you are running acetylene, propane, or propylene, ensuring your arrestors are fresh means your flame is stable and your hands are safe. Keep a kit in your toolbox so you are never stuck with a down torch when a big job comes in.
