Pipe Flashback Arrestors – Acetylene, Oxygen & Propane Safety
Pipe Flashback Arrestors – Acetylene, Oxygen & Propane Safety
Pipe Flashback Arrestors for Acetylene, Oxygen & Propane Gas Lines
Keep your welding and gas cutting setup safe with these heavy-duty Pipe Flashback Arrestors. Designed to protect acetylene, oxygen, propane, and other fuel gas lines from dangerous reverse gas flow and flame flashback, these arrestors are an essential safety component for any workshop, garage, or professional welding station.
Why You Need Flashback Arrestors
Flashback occurs when a flame travels back through the hose toward the gas cylinder — a serious hazard in oxy-fuel cutting and welding applications. These arrestors act as a critical safety check valve, automatically stopping reverse gas flow before it can reach your equipment or fuel supply. Available in 6mm, 8mm, and 10mm pipe sizes, they fit a wide range of standard gas hose connections.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are pipe flashback arrestors used for in welding and gas cutting?
A: Pipe flashback arrestors are safety devices installed inline on acetylene, oxygen, propane, and fuel gas hoses. They contain a built-in check valve that prevents reverse gas flow and stops any flashback flame from traveling back through the hose toward the regulator or gas cylinder — an essential precaution for oxy-fuel welding, cutting, and brazing setups.
Q: What pipe sizes and gases are these flashback arrestors compatible with?
A: These flashback arrestors are available in 6mm, 8mm, and 10mm pipe sizes, making them compatible with a wide range of standard gas hoses. They work with acetylene, oxygen, propane, and other fuel gases commonly used in welding and cutting applications.
Q: What materials are these flashback arrestors made from?
A: These flashback arrestors feature a robust brass body combined with stainless steel internal components, providing excellent corrosion resistance, durability, and reliable performance under the pressures typical of welding and gas cutting operations.
