OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The Flashback arrestor is suitable for use at the following maximum operating pressures:

Acetylene : 1.5 BAR
Map-Mixtures : 2.5 BAR
Hydrogen : 5 BAR
Other Fuel Gases : 5 BAR
Oxygen : 10 BAR
INSTALLATION
Ensure that :-

  • All components for use with oxygen are free of oil, grease and lubricants.
  • Do not grip the body or any part in a vice, as permanent damage may be caused.
  • Once assembled, the entire system should be pressurised to the maximum, working pressure and all connections and joints leak tested with an approved leak detecting fluid.
  • FUNCTION
    Although the flashback arrestor will prevent a flashback from passing into the hose, the cause of every flash back must be established and the fault responsible must be eliminated before the equipment is re-used.
    MAINTENANCE
    The flashback arrestor should be regularly tested with nitrogen for leaks to atmosphere and the non-return value for reverse flow.
