Application

• The Super 78 style Flashback Arrestors provide reliable protection against dangerous backflow of gas and flashbacks. They are resettable devices mounted to pipeline or regulator outlets and are ideally suited for medium to higher flow applications. Only one piece of equipment may be connected to a single flashback arrestor.

Benefits

• A large surface area flame arrestor of stainless stainless steel construction extinguishes and dangerous flashbacks entering the device in any direction.
• After any flashback or reverse gas flow, a pressure sensitive cut-off valve immediately cuts off the gas supply and prevents dangerous further work.
• A red signal lever indicates the operation of the pressure sensitive cut-off valve.
• The resetting of the arrestor by the lever allows the user to resume safe work immediately after fixing the cause of the flashback or the reverse gas flow.
• A temperature sensitive cut-off valve extinguishes sustained flashbacks long before the internal temperature of the arrestors reaches a dangerous level.
• A spring loaded non-return valve prevents slow or sudden reverse gas flow forming explosive mixtures in the gas supply.
• A filter at the gas inlet protects the arrestor against dirt contamination, extending the service life.
• A pressure relief valve vents excessive pressure and soot to the atmosphere protecting the hose from bursting and the flame arrestor from clogging up thus maintaining the flow rate.
