introduction

Scope of the Manual

This Instruction Manual provides instructions for 

installation, startup, maintenance and parts ordering 

information for the Enardo DFA Series detonation  

flame arrestor.

Product Description

The Enardo DFA Series detonation flame arrestor 

represents the best value in flame arrestor protection. 

The detonation flame arrestor provides protection 

against flame propagation in piping systems that are 

manifolded or have long run-up distances. These are 

typically used for extended pipe length or multiple pipe 

bend configurations to stop high pressures and flame 

velocities with detonations and overdriven detonations. 

It also stops confined and unconfined, low and high 

pressure deflagration. The design is unique in the ability 

to provide large flame channels which requires less 

frequent maintenance and greater ease in cleaning 

when service is required, translating to less down time. 

Enardo DFA Series detonation flame arrestors are 

bi-directional and proven to stop an ignited flammable
