OVERVIEW

ESAB H16 Check Valve - 13P16

Upgrade your oxy-fuel torch setup with the ESAB H16 Check Valve (SKU: 13P16). This premium accessory is engineered to provide reliable protection against reverse flow, a common hazard in gas cutting and welding. By preventing gases from backing up into the hose, the H16 Check Valve helps maintain a safe operating environment and protects your valuable regulators and hoses from contamination and damage.

The H16 model is designed for direct mounting to the torch, placing the safety device as close to the potential source of backpressure as possible. It features standard 9/16"-18 B-Size threads, making it compatible with the vast majority of industrial cutting torches and welding handles available on the market. The valve mechanism is housed in a rugged brass body, ensuring it can handle the thermal and physical stresses of the workshop or job site.

Professional welders understand that safety equipment must be dependable. ESAB's reputation for quality ensures that the 13P16 check valve performs when it matters most. Unlike flashback arrestors, which stop flames, check valves are specifically designed to stop gas flow reversal. For complete protection, they are often used in conjunction with flashback arrestors. This unit offers high flow capacity, ensuring that your flame remains stable and sufficient for heavy cutting or heating applications without restriction.

FAQ

The H16 Check Valve is designed to prevent the reverse flow of gases into the hoses and regulators, which prevents dangerous gas mixing.

No, a check valve only stops reverse gas flow. It does not stop a flame front. For flame protection, a flashback arrestor is required.

The ESAB H16 (13P16) is typically designed to be mounted directly onto the torch inlet connections.

It features standard B-Size connections, which are 9/16"-18 threads commonly found on industrial oxy-fuel equipment.

Check valves are generally compatible with common fuel gases like acetylene, propane, and propylene, as well as oxygen, provided the correct unit (gas specific threads) is used.

It is recommended to test check valves for reverse flow leaks at least once every six months or according to manufacturer guidelines.

While some check valves are designed for regulators, the H16 is typically a torch-mount model. Always verify the gender of the threads before installation.

The H16 is designed with high flow capacity to minimize restriction, ensuring your torch performs effectively even during heavy cutting.
