OVERVIEW

Stay Safe with the ESAB 88-4 CVL Check Valve

When you're working with oxy-fuel, peace of mind is just as important as the quality of your cut. The ESAB 88-4 CVL Regulator Check Valve is a must-have safety accessory for any welder using acetylene, propane, or other fuel gases. Its primary job is simple but vital: it stops gas from flowing the wrong way. If a blockage occurs at the torch tip or pressure becomes unbalanced, gas can try to push back into the hose. This check valve acts as a one-way street, blocking that reverse flow before it reaches your regulator.

Installation is a breeze. The valve screws directly into the outlet of your fuel gas regulator with standard left-hand threads—no adapters needed for most setups. Once installed, you can connect your hose directly to the check valve. It's a small investment that offers huge protection for your gear and your shop. Don't take chances with gas mixing; equip your rig with ESAB's reliable check valves and focus on laying down perfect beads and clean cuts.

Built tough with brass housing, this valve resists corrosion and wear. Whether you are in a heavy fabrication shop or a home garage, safety should never be optional. The ESAB 88-4 CVL gives you that extra layer of security, ensuring your fuel gas stays where it belongs.

FAQ

It is a check valve designed to prevent the reverse flow of gases from the hose back into the regulator.

It is designed for Fuel Gas (Acetylene, Propane, etc.) and features left-hand threads.

This model is designed to be mounted directly onto the outlet of the regulator.

No, a check valve prevents reverse flow but does not stop a flame front. A flashback arrestor is recommended for complete protection.

It uses standard CGA "B" size fittings: 9/16"-18 Left Hand threads.

No, this unit has left-hand threads for fuel gas. You need a right-hand thread model for oxygen.

They should be tested regularly (at least annually) and replaced if they fail a reverse-flow test or show signs of damage.

While any restriction adds some drop, high-quality valves like the 88-4 are designed to minimize flow restriction for standard cutting and welding.
