WESFA-30 - Western Enterprises FA-30 Regulator-Mount Flashback Arrestor Set

Protect Your Shop with Western Enterprises FA-30

Safety is paramount when working with oxy-fuel equipment, and the Western Enterprises FA-30 Flashback Arrestor Set is your first line of defense against dangerous flashbacks and reverse gas flow. Designed specifically for regulator mounting, these arrestors stop flames dead in their tracks, preventing them from reaching your expensive regulators and volatile gas cylinders. Whether you are a professional fabricator or a serious hobbyist, installing the FA-30 is a small investment that provides massive peace of mind.

Why You Need Regulator-Mount Arrestors

Flashbacks can happen instantly and without warning, often caused by clogged tips, improper pressure settings, or damaged hoses. While torch-mount arrestors protect the hose, regulator-mount arrestors like the FA-30 protect the most critical and dangerous part of your setup: the gas supply. By stopping the flame at the regulator, you ensure that the cylinder remains safe from ignition. The FA-30 set includes both oxygen and fuel gas units, clearly color-coded green and red to ensure correct installation every time.

Uncompromised Flow and Performance

One common concern with adding safety devices is the potential for reduced gas flow. Western Enterprises has engineered the FA-30 to support cutting capacities of up to 10 inches, meaning you won't experience gas starvation or performance drops during standard cutting, heating, or welding tasks. The internal check valves operate smoothly to allow forward flow while instantly sealing against back pressure. This ensures your torch gets the fuel and oxygen it needs while keeping the system sealed against accidents.

Built to Last

These arrestors are built tough for the shop environment. Made in the USA from high-quality brass, they resist wear and tear while providing a secure, leak-free connection to your regulator's B-Size outlets. The FA-30 is UL Listed, confirming its reliability and adherence to safety standards. Don't take chances with mixed gases or backfires; equip your rig with the FA-30 Flashback Arrestor Set and focus on your weld with confidence.
