Hose Safety Whip Checks are recommended in all pressurized hose applications over 1/2 inch, in order to keep operators and job sites safe. To prevent serious injury due to hose or coupling failure, install a Whip Check at each hose connection and from equipment / air source to the hose. Spring-loaded loops easily adjust to slip over the couplings and maintain a firm grip on the hose. Also known as whip arrestors or hose choker cables, these cables are a necessity for all pneumatic supply hose applications.
Whip checks should be installed in the fully extended position (no slack) for proper safety assurance.
Hose Safety Whip Checks, along with pneumatic check valves and safety clips, are integral products for a safe pneumatic hose system. Regular inspection and replacement of worn components is also imperative in maintaining a safe system and workplace. Always replace whip checks if a failure incident occurs, as this can cause damage to the cable and connections.
