Product Description

Whip Checks are safety devices that are used to prevent accidents or injuries caused by hose or coupling failure. They consist of a spring that extends across hose fittings to provide standby safety. To use a whipcheck, you simply pull back the spring and slip the loops over each hose before connecting them. This provides security against hose whip, which can be dangerous in high-pressure applications.

Whipchecks are designed with a safety margin of 5 to 1 at 200 psi, but this drops to 3 to 1 at 300 psi. They are only suitable for use in applications where the pressure is below this limit. Using them in higher pressure applications can result in injury or death if there is an explosive coupling decompression.

Whipchecks come in sizes ranging from 1/2" to 4", and are made of mild steel or stainless steel. They are commonly used in hydraulic and air hose applications where there is an elevated working pressure. Our steel whip check and hose restraints are designed specifically for industrial and hydraulic hoses.

FAQ of Whip Check:

Q: What is a whip check?
A: A whip check is a safety device used to prevent accidents or injuries resulting from hose or coupling failure. It is a cable-like assembly that extends across the hose fittings to give standby safety for hoses.

Q: What is the purpose of a whip check?
A: The purpose of a whip check is to provide security against hose whip by preventing high-pressure hoses from thrashing around if they come apart.

Q: What is the maximum pressure rating for a whip check?
A: Whip checks are designed with a 5 to 1 safety margin at 200 psi. At 300 psi, that margin drops to 3 to 1. Any pressure above that is not a suitable application for whipchecks and may result in injury or death in the event of an explosive coupling decompression.

Q: What is the material used for whip checks?
A: Mild steel is the most common material used for whip checks. However, there are also stainless steel versions available.

Q: What sizes are available for whip checks?
A: Whip checks are available in sizes ranging from 1/2"-4".

Q: What is the application of whip checks?
A: Whip checks are used in applications such as air, water, hydraulic, etc., where elevated working pressure exists. They are designed for use with industrial hose and hydraulic hoses.

Q: How do you use a whip check?
A: To use a whip check, simply pull back the spring and slip the loops on the whip check over each hose before connection to provide security against hose whip.
