OVERVIEW

Industrial Grade Reverse Flow Prevention

The ESAB CV-7 Check Valve Assembly (Part Number 639720) is a critical safety component designed for industrial oxy-fuel cutting and welding systems. Engineered to prevent the reverse flow of gases, this valve mitigates the risk of mixed-gas accidents which can lead to hose explosions or regulator damage. The unit is specifically calibrated for Oxygen service, featuring industry-standard Right Hand (RH) threads to ensure correct connection polarity and prevent cross-connection with fuel gas lines.

Constructed from high-quality machined brass, the CV-7 offers superior corrosion resistance and mechanical durability suitable for harsh MRO environments. The internal spring-loaded valve mechanism is designed to close instantaneously upon the detection of back-pressure, effectively isolating the upstream equipment. This specific model features a B-Size (9/16"-18) Female connection, making it compatible with standard regulator outlets or hose couplers requiring a female interface. It is an essential component for compliance with safety protocols in heavy fabrication, structural steel, and maintenance operations.

The valve's flow characteristics are optimized to minimize pressure drop during normal operation, ensuring that the cutting or heating flame remains stable and efficient. Regular inspection and testing of check valves are recommended as part of a comprehensive preventative maintenance program for gas distribution equipment.

FAQ

A check valve only prevents the reverse flow of gas. A flashback arrestor prevents both reverse flow and extinguishes a flame front (flashback). Check valves are a minimum safety requirement, but flashback arrestors offer higher protection.

This specific unit (639720) is for Oxygen. It has Right-Hand (RH) threads. Fuel gas models typically use Left-Hand (LH) threads.

The threads are B-Size, which corresponds to 9/16"-18. This is the standard size for most industrial oxy-fuel regulators and hoses.

This model has a female thread, which typically attaches to the male outlet of a regulator. Always check the flow direction arrow on the valve to ensure correct orientation.

Industry standards often recommend testing check valves at least once a year and replacing them every 3 to 5 years, or immediately if they fail a reverse-flow test.

All check valves introduce a minor pressure drop, but the ESAB CV-7 is designed to provide sufficient flow for standard cutting and welding applications without significant performance loss.

While the brass is compatible, this unit is threaded Right-Hand for Oxygen. You cannot connect it to standard Propane (fuel) fittings which are Left-Hand. You need a fuel-specific check valve.
