0657-0077 - Victor FBHC-OC High Capacity Oxygen Flashback Arrestor C-Size

Heavy-Duty Safety for High-Volume Applications

The Victor FBHC-OC High Flow Flamebuster is a critical safety device engineered for heavy-duty oxy-fuel cutting and heating operations. In industrial environments where large heating tips and high-capacity torches are employed, standard flashback arrestors often create a bottleneck, restricting gas flow and reducing performance. The FBHC (Flashback High Capacity) series addresses this by providing a substantial flow path that supports the high-volume oxygen requirements of heavy steel mill, scrap yard, and fabrication work, all while maintaining rigorous safety standards.

Dual Protection Mechanism

This device integrates two essential safety features into a single compact unit. First, a reverse flow check valve prevents the accidental mixing of gases in the hose, which is a primary cause of explosions. Second, a sintered stainless steel flame barrier acts as a flashback arrestor, extinguishing any flame front that attempts to travel back into the torch or hose. This dual-layer protection is vital for protecting both the operator and the equipment from catastrophic failures.

C-Size Configuration

The FBHC-OC is specifically designed with C-Size (7/8"-14) threads, distinguishing it from standard B-Size equipment. This larger connection size is standard on extra-heavy-duty torches and hoses used in the most demanding industrial sectors. The torch-mount design ensures that the safety device is positioned as close to the potential hazard as possible, stopping flashbacks before they can enter the hose lines. Constructed from durable brass, the Victor FBHC-OC is built to withstand the physical abuse of industrial jobsites while delivering reliable, life-saving performance.
