Flashback Arrestors for Regulators and Point of Supply

The SG6537 and SG6547 Series Flashback Arrestors are designed to provide protection against flashback of fuel gas or oxygen. The SG6537 Series is constructed of brass and the SG6547 Series is constructed of Type 316L Stainless Steel. These arrestors are compact in design and provide the following safety elements when used in a delivery system: 100 micron filtration, reverse flow check valve, flame barrier and thermal cut-off valve.

The SG6537 and SG6547 Series arrestors are commonly installed downstream of regulators and on supply lines. They are listed by Underwriter Laboratories to U/L 23Y5and can be used to help meet ANSI Z49.1.1999, OSHA and NFPA safety requirements.

Standard Features
  • 100 Micron Stainless Steel Inlet Filter helps prevent contaminants from blocking check valve and provides extended service life.
  • Check Valve prevents hazardous back flow of gas into regulator or supply line.
  • Flame Barrier extinguishes flash back within housing and prevents flame from reaching gas supply.
  • Thermal Cut-Off Valve positively shuts off gas flow in the event of downstream fire reaching the arrestor.
