Hi and thanks for taking the time...
I don't do too much torch work, but I do have a portable set that really comes in handy. I have often thought to add flashback arrestors or backflow valves. I assume the arrestors at the torch handle would add the greatest margin of safety but may be clumsy with the added couple inches to the overall torch length, especially when the idea is to have a small compact torch. Are the regulator mounted ones adequate?
I do try to practice safe handling, lighting, purging but because I do not use the set often I always need to check back for correct pressure settings etc. and I think the extra safety would be smart.
Can you guys with the hands on experience let me know what makes the most practical sense for my limited use.
Learning something new here everyday.
Thanks
