Flashback Arrestor Set for Torch
The Harris 88-5 FBT R&L set mounts directly on the torch to protect oxy/fuel systems from dangerous flashback events. It suits professional welders and maintenance teams who require reliable gas-flow safety components. The brass and stainless-steel body resists corrosion in demanding workshop environments. This new unit ships ready for installation on compatible torch handles.
Torch-Mounted Gas Safety Integration
Inlet and outlet connections share a 9/16 in.-18 UNF thread sized for B-size hose fittings, letting the set sit inline between torch and hoses. Fuel-side uses CGA 023 while oxygen-side uses CGA 022, matching standard North American torch connections. The compact assembly adds minimal length, preserving torch balance and operator reach. No additional adapters are needed when existing hose fittings match the specified thread and CGA numbers.
Brass and Stainless Construction
The mixed-metal body handles normal oxy/fuel pressures and temperatures without external cooling. Operation adds no moving parts, so noise remains limited to gas flow through the torch tip. Power draw is zero; the arrestors function passively through internal check valves and flame barriers. California Proposition 65 warnings apply due to contained chemicals.

Questions about this item
How do the 9/16 in.-18 UNF connections on the 88-5 FBT set limit flow under sustained high-demand cutting?
The 9/16 in.-18 UNF inlet and outlet restrict maximum flow to the capacity of a size B hose fitting, which becomes the bottleneck during prolonged heavy use.
Does the brass and stainless-steel body run hot or transmit vibration during all-day heating jobs?
Brass and stainless-steel construction dissipates heat efficiently and resists vibration, keeping the arrestor cool and stable during continuous operation.
What torch fittings must I already have to mount this flashback arrestor set?
You need a torch with 9/16 in.-18 UNF male connections matching CGA 022 for oxygen and CGA 023 for fuel to attach the 88-5 FBT set directly.
