OVERVIEW

Protect Your Shop with Reliable Gas Safety

When it comes to setting up a professional gas manifold or station drop, safety is the number one priority. The ESAB 639717 Check Valve Assembly (Model CV5) is built to keep your oxygen and inert gas lines flowing in the right direction—and only the right direction. Backflow, where gas pushes back up the line, can lead to dangerous gas mixing and equipment damage. This heavy-duty brass check valve acts as a one-way street for your gas, automatically closing if pressure reverses, giving you peace of mind while you work.

Built for Heavy-Duty Systems

Unlike small torch-mount valves, this unit is designed for the big jobs. It features rugged NPT (National Pipe Thread) connections sized at 3/4-inch by 1/2-inch, making it perfect for threading directly into your shop's piping system or heavy-duty regulator setups. The solid brass body stands up to the wear and tear of daily industrial use, resisting rust and taking the knocks of a busy workshop environment without failing.

Easy Identification and Installation

Safety equipment should never be confusing. This valve comes with Right-Hand (RH) threads, the universal standard for Oxygen and Inert gases, ensuring you never accidentally install it on a fuel line. Whether you are upgrading an old manifold or building a new distribution system for your welding stations, the ESAB CV5 is a straightforward, reliable solution. Simply apply the appropriate thread sealant for oxygen service, tighten it into place, and trust in the quality of ESAB/Victor engineering to keep your operation running safely.

FAQ

Its primary function is to allow gas to flow in only one direction, preventing reverse flow (backflow) which can lead to dangerous gas mixing and equipment damage.

Due to its Right-Hand (RH) thread configuration, it is designed for use with Oxygen and Inert gases (like Argon, Helium, Nitrogen). It should not be used for fuel gases.

The valve features 3/4-inch x 1/2-inch NPT (National Pipe Thread) connections.

No. A check valve prevents reverse flow, while a flashback arrestor stops the flame front of a flashback. For complete protection, both are often recommended, though this specific part is solely a check valve.

It is typically installed on gas manifolds, station drops, or the outlets of heavy-duty regulators where NPT connections are used.

Yes, since this valve uses NPT tapered threads, an appropriate thread sealant (like Teflon tape or paste approved for oxygen service) is required to ensure a leak-tight seal.

Check valves should be tested regularly according to manufacturer guidelines. If gas can flow in the reverse direction during a test, the valve must be replaced.

No. Fuel gases typically require Left-Hand (LH) threaded components to prevent cross-connection. This RH valve is for Oxygen/Inert service only.
