PSC Whip Checks (Air hose restraints)

These are easy to use, low cost, safety cables to help prevent injury if a
hose connection separates. They can attach hose to hose or hose to
equipment. They are highly resistant to rust and corrosion and do not
require any tools to install.
These are designed for 1-1/4" to 4" air hose and are approximately
20 to 38" long. Other sizes and styles are available on request.

Maximum working pressure:

200 psi for air

Air Hose Safety

Personal Protective Equipment

Use PPE as required for the task while working with hoses. Appropriate task specific
gloves, safety goggles, hard hats, chemical protection aprons where required, safety
boots are all important for your safety. Project Sales Corp provides a complete range of
PPE for head to toe safety. See www.projectsalescorp.in

Hoses and components

The following safety precautions are to be taken in regards to air hoses:

Ensure all hoses and components are appropriately rated to handle the maximum
operating pressure of the air compressor.
Ensure that hoses are protected from mobile plant and vehicle traffic with suitable
positioning or cover ramps.
Always release the pressure in air hoses and tools prior to uncoupling.
Never kink or squash a hose to permit it, or a tool attached to it, to be uncoupled.
Always close the valve to which the hose is connected when not in use.
All airlines are to be stored off the ground so that no dirt entry is possible at hose
ends.
Always secure couplings use, whip checks, and check to confirm attached and
secure
Do not use compressed air hoses for other products such as oils or fuels.
Always ensure that the output hose is secured to an implement prior to turning on air
supply.
Do not fit a tail-tail component to extend air hoses. Always use appropriate couplings.
Bolted clamps, that are appropriately secured, shall always be used to secure hoses to
hose fittings.

Inspection and maintenance

Have an established inspection and maintenance regime for all compressed air
equipment.

All inspection and maintenance activities are required to be documented (e.g. completed
checklists, service reports) and any defects promptly taken out of service and repaired or
replaced.

No maintenance work is to be undertaken on air compressors or compressed air tools

unless the equipment has been completely de-energised and locked out by the
maintenance personnel.

PSC Whipchecks - When a pressurized air hose becomes accidentally uncoupled or a hose or fitting failure occurs, the rapid expansion of air causes the hose
to whip violently creating a potentially lethal situation. PSC Whipcheck air hose restraints are slipped over the hose on each side of the fitting and prevent hose
whip in the event of fitting separation or failure. Spring loaded loops on each end of the whipcheck are easily opened to pass over the fitting and then provide a
firm grip on the hose. On hose to tool or rigid outlet applications PSCWT style is used. The spring loaded loop is placed over the hose, and the choker end is
wrapped around the tool handle or pipe outlet and cinched tight in a choker configuration. Air hose restraints are required by both MSHA and OSHA
as cited below.
MSHA 30 CFR 56.13021
High-pressure hose connections
Except where automatic shutoff valves are used, safety chains or other suitable locking devices shall be used at connections to machines of high-pressure
hose lines of 3/4-inch inside diameter or larger, and between high-pressure hose lines of 3/4-inch inside diameter or larger, where a connection failure would
create a hazard.
OSHA 29 CFR 1926.302(b)(1)
Pneumatic power tools shall be secured to the hose or whip by some positive means to prevent the tool from becoming accidentally disconnected.

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 PSC 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. With a very competitive pricing now with the idea to go for volume sales, we expect
there would be a good incentive to go for PSC Whipchecks for all hose applications.
