One requires a flame arrestor on the scavenge pump.

If the flame arrestor becomes clogged, the thermal cutoff may act to shut down the heater.

In a brief setback, the oil-capture operation was shut down on Friday night because of a problem involving a blocked flame arrestor.

Additional accessories include: flame arrestor, a blank firing device for low-noise shooting (UPMS), various types of optical and night sights, as well as tactical lights.

Since most of the new designs incorporate some type of flame arrestor screen, they require monitoring to make sure they don't become clogged with lint or dust, reducing the availability of air for combustion.

A flashback arrestor or flame arrestor is a device most commonly used in oxy-fuel welding and cutting to stop the flame from burning back up into the equipment and causing damage or explosions.

Despite the warnings against ignition and the flame arrester, consumers have claimed to have been burned by bartenders who ignored the warnings, removed the flame arrestor, and exposed the bottle to an open flame.

The screen acts as a flame arrestor; air (and any firedamp present) can pass through the mesh freely enough to support combustion, but the holes are too fine to allow a flame to propagate through them and ignite any firedamp outside the mesh.

In addition, Boeing, which on Tuesday said publicly for the first time that it was investigating ways to make the atmosphere in the tanks less explosive, disclosed today that it was experimenting with a "flame arrestor" that would protect the tank even if the scavenge pump caught fire.

On many small marine engines, a screen is placed over the intake of the carburetor as a flame arrestor, to prevent these flames from escaping the intake and potentially igniting fuel or fuel vapors in the enclosed sump or bilge of the boat, causing a fire or explosion.
