0657-0023 - Victor Fuel Gas Flashback Arrestor Assembly - British Standard

Victor 0657-0023 Fuel Gas Arrestor Assembly (British Standard)

The Victor 0657-0023 is a specialized Flashback Arrestor Assembly designed for Fuel Gas applications within oxy-fuel cutting and welding systems. This component is engineered to meet the rigorous safety demands of industrial environments, providing a dual-layer of protection against the hazards of reverse gas flow and flashbacks. The assembly is distinguished by its configuration for British Standard connections, making it an essential replacement or upgrade part for equipment setups that utilize BSP (British Standard Pipe) threading rather than standard North American CGA connections.

At the core of this safety device is a sintered stainless steel flame arrestor. This porous metal barrier is designed to quench the flame front of a flashback, preventing it from traveling further upstream into the gas supply equipment or cylinders. Complementing the flame arrestor is a reliable non-return valve (check valve), which automatically closes to stop gas from flowing back down the line, addressing the root cause of mixed-gas explosions. The unit is constructed from high-quality brass, ensuring longevity and resistance to the harsh conditions often found in metalworking shops and construction sites.

This product is specifically calibrated for fuel gases such as Acetylene, Propane, Propylene, and Natural Gas. Proper installation of flashback arrestors is a critical safety requirement in many jurisdictions to protect both the operator and the equipment from catastrophic failure. The Victor 0657-0023 ensures that users with British Standard equipment can maintain the highest levels of safety compliance without needing adapters or makeshift solutions.
