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. This could make the whipping hose lethal and create a potentially dangerous situation. In such a scenario Superex whipchecks ensure safety from injury and property damage. Whipchecks are safety cables made of corrosion resistant, high strength steel which on installation diverts strain on the coupling to the whipcheck. Installation of whipchecks 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.
Use of whipchecks has been made mandatory by Workers Compensation Boards, Bureau of Mines, OSHA and various other government bodies.
