How it works

How a Flame Trap Works

Taking the Heat Out of a Flame

The flame trap’s narrow channels absorb heat from a travelling flame front. That drops the burning gas and air mixture below its auto-ignition temperature, so the flame can’t survive.

The element is a hexagonal crimped ribbon in a steel base; different element and base materials are available.
