WITT Flashback Arrestors for reliable protection against dangerous reverse gas flow and flashbacks in accordance with EN 730-1 / ISO 5175. Every Arrestor 100% tested.

The best Flashback Arrestors in the world

• a large surface area flame arrestor FA of stainless steel construction extinguishes any dangerous flashback
