The Victor 0657-0035 Flashback Arrestor Assembly is a critical safety component designed for professional oxy-fuel cutting and welding applications. Engineered as part of the Victor Vanguard™ line, this device provides a dual-layer of protection by integrating both a flashback arrestor and a reverse flow check valve into a single, compact unit. It is specifically manufactured to interface with Victor 100FC and 315FC torch handles, ensuring a secure and leak-free connection that maintains the integrity of your gas delivery system.
Safety in oxy-fuel operations is paramount, and the 0657-0035 addresses the two most significant risks: the reverse flow of gases, which can create explosive mixtures in the hose, and flashbacks, where the flame travels back up into the equipment. The assembly features a sintered metal flame arrestor that extinguishes flames before they can reach the regulator or cylinder, while the check valve mechanism mechanically prevents gas from flowing in the wrong direction. This redundancy is essential for compliance with safety standards and for the protection of both the operator and the equipment.
The unit is equipped with a 9/16"-18 Right Hand (RH) thread connection, conforming to CGA 022 standards, which identifies it for use with Oxygen. The brass construction offers excellent durability and resistance to the harsh conditions typical of industrial environments. By installing directly onto the torch handle, it places the safety barrier as close to the point of operation as possible without significantly altering the balance or ergonomics of the torch. This model eliminates the need for bulky add-on accessory arrestors that can impede maneuverability.
Regular inspection and proper installation of flashback arrestors are vital for maintaining a safe work environment. The Victor 0657-0035 is a direct replacement part that ensures your Victor equipment continues to operate at peak safety and performance levels. Whether used in heavy fabrication, structural steel, or general repair, this arrestor assembly is an indispensable investment in operational safety.
