Product Cut Sheet: Series A Inline (Deflagration) Flame Arrestor

• UL-525 & FM Tested
• Inline Flame Arrester is recommended to be mounted within 10' to 20' of ignition source with only (1) elbow or at the end of a line.​
• Designed with 150# ANSI flanged connections.
• All of our detonation and deflagration flame arrestors come with strong lifting points designed to lift the entire unit and then some.
• The flame arrestor design provides the option of the removal of the flame cell (element) for easy cleaning and replacement without disconnection of the pipe connection flanges.
• Standard housing construction is carbon steel or stainless steel.
• The element is available in 304SS, 316SS & Hastelloy.
• Detonation and deflagration flame arresters can be made with special materials and protective coatings on request, with the exception of Aluminum.

The Paradox Inline Flame Arrestor, prevents flame propagation by acting as a heat sink, cooling the flame front to cause it to be extinguished. This heat sink is made from spiral wound crimped ribbon that allows gas to flow with a minimum pressure drop.

Inline Flame Arresters are recommended for use on pipe lengths of between 10' & 20' with one (1) bend pipe bend only.  In addition, it stops confined and unconfined, low pressure deflagrations. All Paradox units are bi-directional and are proven to stop an ignited flammable vapor mixture of it designed gas group, approaching form either direction traveling at subsonic velocities.
