Pressurized Hose Safety with Hose Whip Restraint
The Hose Whip Restraint arrangements are made to provide protection in case of the high-pressure hose failure. The general idea is to stop the pressurized hose from lashing in case of breaking loose at the joint area. High pressure hoses especially those with hazardous content, should be safeguarded from accidental hazards, such as; involuntary detachments, fitting accidentally bursts during the hose assembly, couplings disconnection, etc using Hose Whip Restraints.
Whip Checks provides additional safety for compressor hoses and prevents uncontrolled movement of a pressure hose. Low-cost safety products to mitigate injuries in applications that use industrial hoses. Builds a bridge between each side of a hose fitting to create an added layer of protection.
Application of Hose Safety Cable Chokers
Cable choker hose restraints are mostly used for applications that fall under the pressure rating standards such as air hose protection, safety cable for pressure hose. Companies with high pressure hoses for petroleum synthetic, chemical gases, oil Field hose safety and water based hydraulic hose restraint fluids can benefit from this hose whip protection equipment. Here are some instances.
- Construction sites using hoisting and handling equipment
- Agricultural sector for hydraulic suction and discharge
- Pharmaceutical productions
- Dye and chemical manufacturers
- Food and consumable goods packaging industries, etc.
- FPSO vessels, Refineries and Distilleries
- Used as Drilling Rig hose safety
The Essential Utility of Hose Whip Restraint
The fitting separation may happen due to varied reasons; it could be an installation error, accidental detachment caused by outside impacts and potential wear and corrosion. Safety restraint systems for pressure hoses offer a secondary level of safety for the personnel and nearby equipment for the whip damage.
The injuries caused by a loose pressure hose can range from light liaisons and bruises to complete fatalities. As high as the pressure gets, theaccident may be more fatal.
Moreover, the hose may contain hazardous chemical and flammable gases that can increase the danger of these incidents. Once the hose joint breaks free, the hose restraint slows down the pressure by tightening the noose that sits around the hose itself, which results in partial or complete shutdown of the flow.

Function
Cable Hose Restraints / Whip Check
To prevent the hose from whipping when released involuntarily, Hose Whip Restraint provides a second line safety, designed from simple though effective construction. The Whip Check Failure equipment features a robust cable assembly and a noose collar on each end. The collar must comply with the hose diameter for maximum proficiency.
By tightening the cinch when the hose is unchecked, whip check air hose restraint the pressure. This causes the stability of the hose and even stops the flow significantly.
The cable assembly is designed with two mechanisms, including one for flange-type
connections, and two, for port adapters. Please refer to the catalogue for finding out more about the air and fluid cable restraints sizing and compatibility, or consult our field specialists for further advice.
Specifications:
- Resilient to high amount of pressure
- Robust design
- Availability range from 1/8" X 20" up to 3/8" X 44" cable
- Hose sizes compatibility ranging from 1/2” I.D to 4” I.D
- Comes with diverse PSI rating
- Extremely abrasion resistance
Safety Requirements:
While the safety cable for pressure hoses are able to withstand high pressure ratings, local governments or industries’ policies require the use of the cable chokers around the joints and connection of any high pressure hose system.
Safety regulations for high pressure hoses, referring to pressure of 100 Psi or more, are considered essential around the world. According to OSHA; “Safety chains, or equivalent means, shall be provided for each hose connection to prevent the line from thrashing around in case the coupling becomes disconnected.” Please note, if the hose whip restraints are chosen from an improper size, or misplaced instead of installation on the appropriate crimping place, the operation of the strain may fail. The wrong whip check safety cable sizes could jeopardize the safety of the workers and result in accidents due to hose pressure failure.
