WHIP CHECKS HOW TO

Whip checks help minimize injuries or accidents resulting from hose or coupling failure. A whip check extends across the hose fittings to give standby safety for hose. Simply pull back the spring and slip the loops on the whip check over each hose before connection to provide security against hose whip.

• must be installed in the extended position (no slack)
• maximum operating pressure: 200 PSI
• cable reaches across hose fittings to provide standby safety for hose
• spring-loaded loops in the cable ends open easily to pass over the couplings for a firm grip on the hose
• no tools needed, easy to install and remove
• cable shipped with safety restraint labels attached
• high resistant to rust and corrosion
• hose-to-hose or hose-to rigid outlet
• with safety clip and lanyard option
• with stainless steel safety marine eye used to connect safety cable to a bolt on tool option
• with bronze/copper ferrule for special environmental conditions option

Whip checks are designed with a 5 to 1 safety margin at 200 psi. At 300 psi that margin drops to 3 to 1. Any pressure above that is not a suitable application for whip checks and may result in injury or death in the event of an explosive coupling decompression. We recommend whip checks be used only on AIR HOSES carrying no more than 200 PSI. Any other use is at your own risk.
If your hose application is hydraulic OR exceeds 200 psi, we strongly recommend that you use our high pressure hose safety whip restraint checks, specifically designed to prevent hose whip on high-pressure hose applications.

HYDRAULIC / HIGH-PRESSURE  HOSE SAFETY

Hose whip checks and safety accessories specifically designed for use with hydraulic OR other high-pressure hose applications exceeding 200 PSI.

	High-Pressure Whipchecks Whip checks limit the hose from whipping in the event of a connection failure. Whip checks are made of durable nylon strapping with extra heavy stitching.
	Containment Grips Containment grips limit the possibility of serious injury to personnel in the event of a connection failure. Containment grips are available in stainless steel or galvanize plated carbon steel
	Support Grips Support grips assist in holding the weight of the hose as it hangs in vertical or slanted positions. Support grips are made of high grade, coated, galvanized wire.
	Bend Restrictors Bend restrictors, which are available for most hoses, assist in reducing the stress near the end fitting as well as prevent kinking of the hose. Bend restrictors are made of PVC material.
	Spring Guards Spring guards, which are available for most hoses, reduce stress near the hose end fitting and prevent kinking of the hose. In addition, they can be custom fit to the length of the hose. Spring guards are made of high tensile spring steel with a rust resistant coating.
	Burst Guards Burst guards protect the operator and surrounding equipment from hose failure. Burst guards are made of synthetic rubber with wire steel reinforcement.
	Abrasion Covers Abrasion covers help protect the hose from excessive wear due to use on rough surfaces. Abrasion covers are made of clear vinyl and reinforced with a rigid PVC helix coil.
