13P16 - ESAB H16 Torch Mount Check Valve

Essential Safety for Oxy-Fuel Operations

Safety is the number one priority in any welding or cutting operation involving oxy-fuel equipment. The ESAB H16 Check Valve (13P16) is a critical safety component designed to protect operators and equipment from the dangers of reverse gas flow. When pressure conditions change unexpectedly, gases can flow back into the hoses or regulators, creating a potentially explosive mixture. This high-quality check valve automatically closes to prevent this reverse flow, ensuring that gases only travel in the intended direction toward the torch tip.

Manufactured by ESAB, a leader in welding and cutting technologies, the H16 Check Valve is built to withstand the rigors of daily industrial use. It features a robust brass body that resists corrosion and physical damage. The valve is designed for easy installation on standard oxy-fuel torches with B-Size (9/16"-18) connections. Its compact and lightweight design ensures that it does not add unnecessary bulk to the torch, allowing operators to maintain precision and comfort during extended use.

Whether you are working with acetylene, propane, or other fuel gases in conjunction with oxygen, installing reliable check valves is a mandatory safety practice. The ESAB H16 provides peace of mind, knowing that your equipment is safeguarded against backflow incidents. Regular inspection and replacement of safety devices are recommended to maintain a safe working environment.
