WHIPCHECK

SIMPLE AND EFFECTIVE. AN ESSENTIAL SAFETY REQUIREMENT, WHIPCHECK SAFETY CABLES SHOULD BE USED ON ALL AIR HOSE AND BLAST HOSE CONNECTIONS TO GREATLY REDUCE THE DANGER CAUSED BY HOSE COUPLING FAILURE.

MANY SITES ARE NOW INSISTING ON THESE AS A BASIC RISK ASSESSMENT SAFETY REQUIREMENT

FOR 1/2" i.d. TO 1.1/4" i.d. HOSES.

COUPLINGS MAY SEPARATE FROM AIR & BLAST HOSES FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS........

* HOSE OUTER DIAMETER TOO SMALL FOR COUPLING.

* CONTINUAL STRESS & STRAIN CAUSED BY DRAGGING HOSES AROUND JOB SITES.

* COUPLING SCREWS LOSE GRIPPING POWER DUE TO INTERNAL HOSE WEAR.

* GENERAL CORROSION AND WEAR & TEAR.

* USE OF INCORRECT SIZE OR TENSILE STRENGTH SCREWS AND BOLTS.
