OVERVIEW

Victor 0656-0001 FB-1 Torch Mount Flashback Arrestors

Equip your oxy-fuel outfit with the Victor 0656-0001 FB-1 Flashback Arrestor Set for superior protection against flashbacks and reverse gas flow. Designed for professional welders and fabricators, this set attaches directly to the torch inlets, providing a safety barrier exactly where it is needed most—between the torch and the hose. This pair pack includes arrestors for both Oxygen and Fuel gas, utilizing industry-standard "B" size (9/16" - 18) connections.

The Victor Flamebuster FB-1 is not just a check valve; it is a comprehensive safety device. In the event of a flashback, where a flame travels back up the torch, the internal sintered stainless steel filter quenches the flame, preventing it from entering the rubber hose and reaching the cylinders. Simultaneously, the built-in reverse flow check valve ensures that gas only flows in one direction, preventing the hazardous condition of mixed gases in the supply line. This is particularly important during start-up and shut-down procedures where pressure imbalances can occur.

Victor recommends the use of these devices whenever possible. Unlike some restrictive aftermarket safety devices, the FB-1 series is engineered for high flow capacity. This means you can run Victor Heavy Industry torches without experiencing gas starvation or pressure drops that affect flame stability. The brass construction ensures longevity, and the swivel nut assembly allows for easy installation and proper orientation on the torch handle.

FAQ

A reverse flow check valve only prevents gas from flowing backward. A flashback arrestor does this AND contains a flame barrier (sintered filter) to stop a flame from traveling past the device.

No, the FB-1 model is designed specifically for torch mounting. For regulators, you would typically need a different model designed for regulator outlets.

Yes, the 0656-0001 package is a pair pack containing one Oxygen arrestor and one Fuel gas arrestor.

The Victor FB-1 is designed with high flow capacity suitable for Victor Heavy Industry torches, minimizing any impact on flame performance.

They feature standard "B" size connections: 9/16" - 18 threads. The oxygen is Right-Hand thread, and the fuel is Left-Hand thread.

They should be inspected regularly for damage or flow restriction. Industry standards often recommend testing annually and replacing every 5 years, or immediately after a flashback event.

Yes, the fuel gas arrestor in this set is compatible with standard fuel gases including Acetylene, Propane, and Propylene.
