    This document provides safety guidelines for using flashback arrestors and compressed gas connections during oxy-fuel welding and cutting operations. It states that flashback arrestors are required for all oxy-fuel setups and must be located directly after the pressure gauge and before the hose connection. It also lists best practices for using hoses and connections, such as examining hoses regularly for leaks, avoiding long or kinked hoses, promptly repairing leaks, and storing hoses properly. The document aims to prevent equipment damage, explosions, and harm to users by outlining safe procedures for compressed gas cylinders.

    Flashback Arrestors

    A flashback arrestor or flash arrestor is a special gas safety device most commonly used in oxy-fuel
    welding and cutting to stop the flame or reverse flow of gas back up into the equipment or supply
    line and it prevents the user and equipment from damage or explosions.

    Flashback Arrestors
     Flashback arrestors are required for all oxy-fuel operations setups.
     Flashback arrestor is to be located directly after the pressure gauge and before the hose
    connection.
    Hoses and Connections
     Verify that flashback arrestor is present and in the correct location.
     Examine hoses regularly for leaks, set up an inspection schedule.
     Do not use unnecessarily long hoses.
     Keep hoses free from kinks and away from high traffic areas.
     Repair leaks promptly and properly.
     Store hoses in a cool place, and protect them from hot objects, and sparks.
     Do not use a single hose having more than one gas passage.

    Safe and proper compressed gas connection
