Whip Stop Hose Restraints

Hose Whip Stop Safety RestraintThe Whip Stop hose safety restraint system is designed to significantly reduce the risk of injury caused by a high pressure hose blow-out failure. The magnitude of force caused by a large-diameter pressurized hose can cause fatal injury and be difficult to quickly restrain. Additionally, cleanup and downtime can be costly if hazardous chemicals are being conveyed. The whip stop safety restraint system, also known as a whip sock, will prevent blow back and tightly hold a high pressure hose in check until pressure can be safely decreased.

Whip Stop systems are capable of significantly higher pressure ratings than the standard whip-check or nylon hose safety restraints. The double leg loop ends will also prevent the hose from side to side whipping under pressure.

Hobble clamps are available for a wide variety of pipe diameters and can be custom made to specifically meet your requirements. Whip Stop systems can also be connected directly to one another without a hobble clamp where two hoses are being joined.

Available for hose from 3/8″ to 6″ inside diameters

When installing a Whip Stop Safety Restraint, ensure proper fit by verifying if he diamond-pattern of the braiding is equally proportioned. If the diamonds are longer than they are wide, then the restraint is too big and the hose is at risk of slipping. After installing on the hose, pull on the loop ends to ensure there is no movement or rotation of the hose.

Ensure that the mounting point and any hardware is capable of withstanding the significant force caused by a hose blow-out prior to mounting.  

Inspect Whip Stop Safety Restraints regularly, and replace if there is any sign of rust or broken cable strands.

Install any protective spiral wrap or insulation over the Whip Stop Restraint.
