Welding Gas Flashback Arresters for Regulators

Standard and High Flow

Quick Disconnect

Attach these arresters to the outlet connection of a regulator on a torch that cuts steel up to 11" thick. Arresters extinguish flames and have a check valve to stop reverse gas flow. They are reusable; resetting is not required after flashback.

Arresters with right-hand threads are for use with oxygen. Arresters with left-hand threads are for use with acetylene, hydrogen, and propane.

High-flow arresters give you twice the airflow rate compared to standard flashback arresters when they’re used at the same inlet pressure. They are often used with larger torch tips.

Quick-disconnect arresters have a fitting that connects and disconnects them from your torch, so you don't have to thread these arresters on and off with a wrench.

Welding Gas Flashback Arresters for Torches

Standard and High Flow

Quick Disconnect

These arresters attach directly to torches that cut steel up to 8" thick. They extinguish flames and have a check valve to stop reverse gas flow. They are reusable; resetting is not required after flashback.

Arresters with right-hand threads are for use with oxygen; arresters with left-hand threads are for use with acetylene, hydrogen, and propane.

High-flow arresters give you twice the airflow rate compared to standard flashback arresters when they’re used at the same inlet pressure. They are often used with larger torch tips.

Quick-disconnect arresters have a fitting that connects and disconnects them from your torch, so you don't have to thread these arresters on and off with a wrench.
