OVERVIEW

Protect Your Gear and Yourself with Victor FlameBuster Plus

Safety shouldn't slow you down, and with the Victor Flame Buster Plus (FBP-1), it doesn't have to. This pair of torch-mount flashback arrestors is a must-have for any welder or fabricator using oxy-fuel equipment. We all know the dangers of a flashback—that popping sound is a warning you never want to ignore. The Flame Buster Plus stops that flame dead in its tracks right at the torch, preventing it from traveling back into your hoses or regulators. It’s the peace of mind you need when you're under the hood or handling a cutting torch.

What sets the FBP-1 apart is the built-in Kwik-Connect feature. If you're tired of grabbing a wrench every time you need to switch from a cutting torch to a heating nozzle, or if you want to break down your rig quickly at the end of the day, this is the solution. The Kwik-Connect system lets you snap your hoses on and off in seconds. It’s fast, it’s secure, and it keeps your threads from getting stripped over time.

This pack comes with everything you need to outfit one torch: one arrestor for your oxygen line and one for your fuel line. They are compact enough not to throw off the balance of your torch, yet robust enough to handle the rigors of daily shop use. Whether you are running acetylene, propane, or other fuel gases, these arrestors provide the flow you need for a stable flame while keeping the dangerous stuff out of your hoses. Upgrade your setup with Victor’s trusted safety technology and experience the convenience of Kwik-Connect.

FAQ

Torch mount arrestors, like the FBP-1, attach directly to the torch handle inlet. They protect the hose and everything upstream from a flashback occurring at the tip. Regulator mount arrestors attach to the regulator outlet and protect the cylinder, but they do not protect the hose from a flashback.

Yes, the Flame Buster Plus integrates both a flashback arrestor (to stop flames) and a reverse flow check valve (to stop gas mixing) in a single unit.

No, the Victor FBP-1 is specifically designed for torch mounting. Using them on a regulator may prevent proper connection and flow direction. For regulators, you need a regulator-mount model.

The set includes one unit for Oxygen (green/marked) and one unit for Fuel Gas (red/marked), compatible with standard fuel gases like Acetylene, Propane, and Propylene.

The Kwik-Connect allows you to disconnect the hose from the torch with a simple snap mechanism, similar to an air hose coupler, without needing a wrench. This makes changing torches or storing equipment much faster.

All flashback arrestors introduce some flow restriction, but the FBP-1 is designed to provide sufficient flow for most standard cutting and welding tips. For extremely high-flow heating applications, check the flow charts to ensure adequate supply.

It depends on the severity of the flashback. If the arrestor extinguishes a minor flashback, it may continue to function. However, if it is clogged by carbon deposits or internal damage from a severe event, flow will be restricted, and it must be replaced. They are not field-repairable.

The package contains one pair of arrestors: one for the oxygen connection and one for the fuel gas connection.
