The following information is not confirmed;

2012 IFC; 3501.5 Design and installation of oxygen-fuel gas systems.
An oxygen-fuel gas system with two or more manifolded cylinders of oxygen shall be in accordance with NFPA 51.

ANSI Z49.1 is an AWS publication that provides the requirement for the flashback arrestors.
