Victor FB-F Torch Mount Flashback Arrestor for Fuel Gas

Protect Yourself with Victor Flamebuster Safety

When it comes to oxy-fuel cutting and welding, safety should never be an afterthought. The Victor Flamebuster Plus FB-F (0657-0011) is an essential safety upgrade for any welder using a torch setup. Flashbacks are among the most dangerous occurrences in welding; they happen when a flame travels back up the torch and into the hoses, potentially reaching the tanks and causing a catastrophic explosion. The Victor FB-F is designed to stop this dead in its tracks. By mounting directly to your torch handle, it provides the last line of defense right where you are working.

This heavy-duty unit is built by Victor, a brand synonymous with quality and reliability in the welding industry. It features a dual-protection system: a reverse flow check valve and a flashback arrestor. The check valve prevents gas from backing up into the wrong hose—a common cause of accidents—while the arrestor extinguishes any flame that tries to pass through. Because it is designed for "Fuel" gas (such as Acetylene, Propane, or Propylene), it comes with the standard left-hand threads (CGA 023) that fit almost all standard industry torches.

One of the biggest complaints about adding safety devices is that they can restrict gas flow, making the torch sputter or lose power. The Flamebuster Plus FB-F is engineered with high-flow internal components, making it suitable even for heavy-duty heating nozzles and large cutting tips. You get the protection you need without sacrificing the performance of your equipment.
