Why whipsocks

Restrain and prevent unpredictable whipping

Whip socks or sometimes called cable socks are the new best way to restrain high pressure hoses. The whip sock has a unique design that prevents the very real and unpredictable whipping of a high pressure hose during a failure. The real genius behind these new designs is the woven steel that grips and tightens over a large area of the hose as it suppresses and confines the hose that has ruptured.

INSTALLATION !!!

When the whipsock is installed on a hose, it is important that the distance from side to side as indicated by this RED LINE, is greater than or equal to the height indicated by the YELLOW LINE. This whipsock is too large for this hose.

Diamonds height and width distances are the same. This whipsock is a good fit for this hose.

We recommend anchoring the end of the whipsock with a rubberized tape. This will improve the gripping action and prevent movement of the whipsock.

Recommended For:

• high-pressure HYDRAULIC applications
• high-pressure AIR applications
• high-pressure WATER applications

Two leg whip socks are AVAILABLE in all sizes.

CUSTOMIZED lengths and anchor points can also be fabricated.

Test CERTIFICATIONS and TRACEABILITY also available.
