Frequently Asked Questions
What is a whip check?
A whip check, also known as a hose safety cable, is a device that restrains the end of a hose to prevent it from whipping or flailing violently if the coupling fails under pressure. It is commonly used on air and water hoses on ships and in industrial settings.
How do I install a whip check?
To install, simply connect one end of the whip check to the hose near the coupling and the other end to a secure anchor point. Adjust the length so the hose is restricted but not taut. No special tools are required.
What length of whip check do I need?
The appropriate length depends on the size and reach of the hose. As a rule of thumb, the whip check should be shorter than the distance between the hose attachment and the anchor point so it can absorb the shock of a disconnection. Standard lengths like 12 inches work for most applications.
Are these whip checks corrosion-resistant?
Yes, our whip checks feature galvanized steel cable and zinc-plated fittings, making them highly resistant to corrosion from saltwater and harsh marine conditions.
