What is the use of the whipcheck safety cable ?

Type of Whipcheck Safety Cable ( Hose to Hose  , Hose to Tool )

Whipcheck safety cables are available in 1/8" ,1/4" cable diameters and in two basic configurations - hose to hose and hose to tool.

Hose to Hose are used at the joint between two hose assemblies.

Hose to Tool are used at the junction between the hose and the tool but are also very important at the compressor end.

The compressed gas can be very hot causing the hose to soften which in turn can lead to an increased possibility of failure.

Whipcheck Safety Cables are available in two cable diameters and a number of different configurations. Whipcheck offer additional safety for compressor hoses in enclosed or critical enviroments.

Whip-Check is a safety cable used mainly during an abrasive blasting process. Whip-checks connect hoses across a high pressure coupling to prevent the hoses from whipping around is the connection fails. They are designed as a fail safe to keep pressurized hoses in one place should any inadvertent decoupling occur. They have been used for many years on air compressor hoses to prevent hose ends from 'whipping' if the coupling blows out of the hose.
