Flashback Arrestors

Flashback arrestors from Cigweld and Tesuco covering every mounting point in an oxy system: Comet F1 Super and F2 regulator-mount FBAs, including quick-connect versions for both regulator and blowpipe mounting, torch-end arrestors in standard, mid and high flow for oxygen and fuel gas, matched regulator-mount and torch-mount sets, and Tesuco Demax and Ibeda pipeline flashback arrestors up to G1 for reticulated workshop gas. Cigweld arrestors in the range are marked to AS4603.

Where should flashback arrestors be fitted?

Flashback arrestors should be fitted at both the regulator and the handpiece — which is exactly why this range carries dedicated regulator-end and torch-end units, plus complete sets that do both in one purchase. Arrestors are also side-specific: oxygen and fuel gas versions are separate products and aren't interchangeable, and the flow rating (standard, mid or high flow) should match the equipment being protected — high-flow heating gear needs a high-flow arrestor. WeldCo keeps replacement FBAs on the shelf at its Melbourne and Adelaide trade stores so worn units can be swapped out without downtime.
