Flashback Arrestor Bodies and Assemblies are available for special applications. Flashback Arrestor Bodies consist of 1/4" F and 1/4" M NPT connections. Assemblies for Adapters and Pigtails consist of standard CGA connections on both the inlet and outlet sides of a Flashback Arrestor Body. Western also offers assemblies with ball seat check valves for the inlet side of the Flashback Arrestor Body.
Flashback Arrestor Bodies extinguish flashes or flames before they reach the cylinder. Flashback Arrestor Assemblies are designed for installation on acetylene cylinders to prevent flashbacks into the cylinder.
