Safety is the number one priority when working with oxy-fuel equipment, and the Victor 0657-0010 Flamebuster Plus (FB-O) is an essential addition to your torch setup. Flashbacks—where the flame travels back up into the torch or hoses—can be catastrophic, leading to equipment damage or serious injury. The FB-O is designed to stop these events in their tracks. By mounting directly to your torch handle, it acts as a guard right at the source, extinguishing flames instantly and preventing them from reaching your gas supply.
This unit isn't just a flashback arrestor; it also includes a built-in reverse flow check valve. This feature is vital because it stops gas from backing up into the wrong hose, which is often how dangerous gas mixtures form in the first place. If you are using a heavy-duty torch for thick cutting or heating, you need an arrestor that won't restrict your gas flow. The Victor FB-O is engineered for high-flow performance, ensuring that your flame remains stable and powerful even when using large tips. You won't have to sacrifice performance for safety.
Installation is straightforward. The FB-O screws directly onto the oxygen inlet of your torch handle (look for the "Oxygen" marking and right-hand threads). It fits standard B-size connections found on most Victor and compatible torches. Once installed, it adds minimal weight and bulk, allowing you to maneuver the torch comfortably. Whether you are a professional welder in a shipyard or a hobbyist in a garage, equipping your torch with a Victor Flamebuster is a smart investment in your personal safety and the longevity of your tools.
