3/4" slip type PVC coupler glued to unit with a rubber stopper lubed with vaseline pressed into the open coupler end, lanyard tied to a hole in the edge of the canister and to a hole in the top edge of the stopper so if it blows you dont lose the stopper. Cost about 80 cents, gauranteed to let loose if flashback occurs and 3/4" internal is plenty to relieve pressure of ignition. Lowes carries rubber stoppers in the drawers over in the hardware area. You could even go 1" for more opening.
I have one self resetting valve but cant get my comp to upload the video. it ask me to register with MyDeo / Neptune did any of U had the same thing happening to you.
I've never post a video.
mine is tension adjustable and about $2.50 cost of construcion.
oh yeah, I dont know if it will bleed off the pressure quick enough or not but My local Lowes here in northern california sells a pressure releif valve to be hooked up to an aircompressor. It lets off steam at about 115 psi.
If the valve diameter is not big enough, then it would probably just blow up. I think I know what you are referring to. There is one on my compressor, but its very small.
A glycerine filled pressure gage found at an industrial hose suuply can have a pressure releif valve included. Although once the rubber plug pops out the gage is no good unless you can somehow refill and plug it back up. Oh and your pressure releif valve looks like it might release pressure more quickly. The hole in the regulators is only about 1/8 round.
On one of sidyoung's flashback arrestor videos, he says in the comments that the hho gas burns at about mach 7. This valve is just over 1 and 3/4 inches. I cant remember the exact size. 1.84 or 1.82, I'll look that up.
I hope you get good results from these efforts ... we very much need a device like this that will automatically reset itself after a flash back ... I have tried with a few ideas but best I have come up with so far is basically a blow cork that requires interaction to re-enable ... if you beat this problem, you are my hero and I will employ your successfull design on my own setup in a heart beat ...

You may guarantee it, but I wouldnt. If you get a hard enough flashback, there is a possibility that it will go off like a pvc pipe bomb.

Thats weird. My videos load without any problem. For $2.50? I would like to see what you are talking about.

great job, add a lite weight sprin and the retainers and pop it a bunch and see what happens, I would love to see that vid

I will test this thoroughly, and I have the perfect place to do so.

Thanks crow, I have a couple of other ways to make this work, if this particular setup fails. Stay tuned...;)
