OVERVIEW

Victor 0657-0022 Flashback Arrestor Assembly - British Oxygen

Upgrade your gas safety protocols with the Victor 0657-0022 Arrestor Assembly, specifically configured for British Oxygen applications. Flashback arrestors are the first line of defense in oxy-fuel cutting and welding, preventing the catastrophic return of a flame into the gas supply equipment. This unit is precision-engineered by Victor Technologies to provide reliable protection against both flashbacks and reverse gas flow, two of the most common causes of gas equipment accidents.

The 0657-0022 is distinct in its application for British Oxygen style connections, often found in specific international markets or specialized industrial setups. It integrates a flame barrier and a non-return valve into a compact assembly. The flame barrier is typically made of sintered stainless steel, which allows gas to flow through while stopping a flame front. The non-return valve ensures that oxygen flows only towards the torch, preventing fuel gas from backing up into the oxygen line, which could create an explosive mixture.

Installing the correct safety equipment is not just a best practice; it is often a regulatory requirement. Using the Victor 0657-0022 ensures that your equipment meets the necessary safety standards for operation. Its robust construction ensures longevity, but like all safety devices, it should be tested regularly and replaced if it has sustained a flashback or shows signs of damage. Trust in Victor's legacy of quality to keep your welding operations safe and efficient.

FAQ

It serves as a flashback arrestor assembly, preventing flames and reverse gas flow from traveling back into the gas supply equipment.

The product name 'British Oxygen' indicates this assembly is designed for Oxygen service.

It is designed for British Oxygen style connections, which typically utilize British Standard Pipe (BSP) threads rather than standard CGA threads.

No, this is specific to British Oxygen style connections. Standard American equipment uses CGA fittings and would require different arrestors.

It is generally recommended to test them annually and replace them every 5 years, or immediately if a flashback has occurred.

No, this is a safety accessory that attaches to the regulator or torch; it does not replace the regulator itself.

This part is manufactured by Victor (now part of ESAB), a leading brand in gas control equipment.
