The Victor Professional FlameBuster FB-1 Flashback Arrestors, Model 0656-0001, are designed to provide additional protection in compatible oxy-fuel gas systems. Installed at the torch end of the gas supply connections, these devices help reduce the risk of dangerous gas-flow reversal and flame propagation into the hoses.
Each unit incorporates a reverse-flow check valve and a flame-arresting element. The check valve helps prevent gas from flowing in the wrong direction, while the flame-arresting element is designed to extinguish a flame attempting to travel back through the device.
The pair pack is intended for use with compatible oxygen and fuel-gas lines. Correct selection and installation are essential because the required connections, gas compatibility and operating pressure depend on the torch system and the manufacturer’s specifications.
These arrestors are suitable for professional welding shops, metal fabrication facilities, maintenance workshops and other environments where oxy-fuel equipment is used.

How Flashback Arrestors Work
Flashback arrestors are designed to help prevent a flame from travelling backward through an oxy-fuel system. Depending on the device design, integrated safety elements may include a flame-arresting element and a non-return valve.
The Victor FlameBuster FB-1 pair is intended to provide protection on the oxygen and fuel-gas sides of a compatible torch setup. These devices are an additional safety measure and do not replace correct operating procedures, suitable regulators, sound hoses or regular equipment inspection.
Why Choose Victor FlameBuster FB-1 Flashback Arrestors?
These arrestors provide an additional layer of protection for compatible oxy-fuel equipment. Their combination of flame-arresting and reverse-flow prevention functions helps reduce the risks associated with flashback and gas-flow reversal.
The paired configuration is convenient for users who need protection for both oxygen and fuel-gas lines.
Safety & Installation
- Confirm that the arrestors are suitable for the exact gas, torch, connection type and operating pressure.
- Install each unit on the correct gas line and in the orientation specified by the manufacturer.
- Do not interchange oxygen and fuel-gas units unless the manufacturer explicitly permits it.
- Follow the torch and arrestor manufacturer’s installation instructions.
- Inspect hoses, regulators, connections and safety devices regularly.
- Never use damaged or contaminated gas equipment.
- Do not rely on flashback arrestors as a substitute for safe gas handling and correct torch operation.
- Have installation and inspection carried out by a trained professional.
