A pressurized air hose in case of hose failure or accidental uncoupling could cause the hose assembly to whip violently due to the sudden release of energy. The lethal whipping hose lethal can create a potentially dangerous situation. In such a scenario Superex whipcheck safety cables ensure safety from injury and property damage.

Whipchecks are hose arrestors made of corrosion resistant, high strength – steel, aluminum, copper or stainless steel which on installation diverts strain from the coupling to the whip check.

Installation of whipcheck is easy and requires no tools- the spring loaded loops of the whipcheck are opened and slipped over each hose providing a firm grip on the hose and avoiding it from whipping in case of accidents. Whipchecks are commonly used on hose for air, water blast, drilling, steam, concrete, sandblast or other high pressure applications.

• Standard hose to hose style – Steel cable and aluminium ferrules. 
• C style – Steel cable and copper ferrules for offshore and Coal mining applications. 
• S style – Stainless steel cable and stainless steel ferrules for applications like petro- chemical industry requiring high corrosion resistance.
• Standard hose to tool style – Steel cable and aluminium ferrules. 

Use of whipchecks has been made mandatory by Workers Compensation Boards, Bureau of Mines, OSHA and various other government bodies.
