Harris Flashback Arrestor SA1881 – Essential Safety for Gas Welding
The Harris flashback arrestor SA1881 provides critical protection for oxy-fuel welding systems. Designed to stop reverse gas flow and flashbacks instantly, it keeps your equipment and workspace safe. If you’re working with oxygen, acetylene, or LPG, this small but powerful device is a must-have.
Built for Safety and Reliability
This model features two fitting options:
-
3/8″ (with 6 & 8mm hose nipples)
-
9/16″ (with 6mm nipple)
Thanks to these sizes, it fits most standard oxygen and fuel gas setups in South Africa. The SA1881 arrestor works by instantly stopping flame propagation in the event of a flashback, giving you peace of mind every time you ignite your torch.
Additionally, the built-in non-return valve prevents reverse gas flow, which is especially important when working with flammable gases. This helps reduce the risk of hose rupture, regulator damage, or worse — gas cylinder explosions.
Easy to Install and Maintain
Installation is quick and hassle-free. The arrestor connects directly to your regulator or torch, depending on your setup. Because of its compact design, it doesn’t take up much space in your hose line or interfere with movement.
Also, the robust brass construction ensures long service life. It resists corrosion, heat, and physical damage — even in tough shop conditions.
