The WELDGAS Oxygen FBA In-line flashback arrestor is a safety device that reliably prevents reverse gas flow and flashbacks in oxy-fuel welding and cutting applications, certified to EN ISO 5175-1 standards.


Overview

A flashback arrestor (FBA) is a critical safety device installed in oxy-fuel setups to prevent flames from traveling back into hoses, regulators, or gas cylinders. The WELDGAS inline model is designed for oxygen use, connecting directly in-line with 3/8" BSP fittings


Key Features

  • Safety Elements: Equipped with a stainless steel flame arrestor (FA), a temperature-sensitive cut-off valve (TV), a spring-loaded non-return valve (NV), and a filter on the gas inlet

  • Construction: Inline "barrel type" arrestor with robust stainless steel design for durability and reliable flame extinguishing

  • Certified Standards: Complies with DIN EN ISO 5175-1, EN 730-1, and is BAM/IBExU certified for safety and quality

  • Flow Capacities: Maximum free flow rates—oxygen up to 187 m³/h, fuel gases like acetylene up to 68 m³/h


Operational Limits

  • Single Equipment Use: Only one oxygen device or outlet may be connected to a single FBA

  • Temperature Range: Maximum ambient/working temperature is 70 °C (158 °F)

  • Orientation: Can be mounted in any position without affecting performance

  • Maintenance: Annual inspection of the non-return valve, leak-tightness, and flow capacity is recommended. Replace the dirt filter as needed; servicing should only be performed by a competent person or the manufacturer


Advantages

  • Prevents reverse flow and formation of explosive gas mixtures.

  • Extinguishes flashbacks before internal temperatures become unsafe.

  • Protects hoses, regulators, and cylinders for both single devices and pipeline outlets.

  • Extends service life of equipment due to inlet filtration and durable construction


In summary, the WELDGAS Oxygen FBA In-line is a high-quality safety device meant for occupational welding and cutting applications, offering comprehensive protection against flashbacks and ensuring compliance with international safety standards while being straightforward to install and maintain.
