   Today I built this flashback arrestor.
   
   1st picture- It shows how I sanded down the air stone to fit part way in the pipe, so it would be a tight fit in the pipe and snug up into the cap.
   
   2nd picture- Shows the nipple of the air stone coming threw the cap.
   
   3rd picture- This is where you force the air stone into the pipe some more, forming a tight seal between the stone and the pipe, And the nipple and the cap
   
   4th picture- Place your hose down into the cap, over the nipple, slide your barrel fitting down, followed by the nut, to form an air tight fit
   
   5th picture- The finished flashback arrestor. Pipe can be any length, This is just what I had available.
   
   Video of testing- I started with an air stone in each end, But it was overkill.
   
   Have a safe day

     Torch play time 
   
   I put a 0.025 mig wire feeder tip on the end of my flashback arrestor.
   and it becomes my cutting torch.
   as it cuts threw a stainless steel cable strand
   here are some videos
