Overview
Whipchecks, or cable hose restraints, are designed to prevent hose whipping incidents caused by accidental disconnection or failure under high pressure. These safety devices provide a critical second line of defense, minimizing risks to personnel and equipment in industrial operations. Featuring a robust cable assembly with noose collars, whipchecks offer quick and effective restraint during high-pressure hose failures. Their simplicity in design and durability in extreme conditions make them an essential safety solution.
Additional Functional Description
Hose whip restraint works by cinching tightly when hose pressure is lost, stabilizing or halting flow. The design includes two mechanisms — one for flange-type connections and another for port adapters — making them adaptable across various hose setups. These restraints are abrasion-resistant and built to handle diverse PSI ranges. For correct usage, collar sizing must match hose diameter. Refer to our catalogue or consult specialists for sizing guidance based on hose type and usage.
