I'm having some trouble finding information about the effects of flow rate restriction from flashback arrestors. I've seen in a few places that "high flow" arrestors are recommended when using heating/rosebud tips, but they're quite expensive and I'm not sure if I'll need them since I'm planning on running a small heating tip (says 28 scfh on the chart).
A related question is whether I should install the check valves that came with the torch if I'm using flashback arrestors at the regulators.
Link to the tip I'm planning on using and the "non-high-flow" flashback arrestors I ordered.

Yes install both. Flash back arrestors are only to keep the flame from burning back . But check valves keep the contents of the tanks from mixing. Separate dangers. Separate fixes. Flashback arrestors are only good for one burnback.
I have more questions than answers
