Air Hose - Whip Sock/Safety Sling

The best ever high-pressure hose safety device.
 
 
Prevent accident, injury, and death! These are the best high-pressure hose restraints available, because the stocking style woven steel grips the hose securely over the larger area. Abrasion and wear and tear usually take place near fittings, which may result in a rupture. If this happen within the covered area, additional safety occurs that would never occur with a standard whip check. The woven steel can also help prevent abrasion to the hose underneath.
These Whip Socks are not restricted to just air hoses, but can be use on any application where high-pressure hoses are use, air, water, hydraulic, slurry, etc. The key is the two mounting points and the long gripping area. Obviously the two anchoring point and shackles must be rated for the application.
(Whip Socks can also be use as a gripping/pulling aid when pipes are to be pulled into position in very awkward places)
Standard whip checks allow a great amount of whip occur, but the dual leg Whip Sock keeps the hose under complete control. This could mean the difference between life and death. 

Air Hose Safety U.S. Department of Labor Mine Safety and Health Administration 30 CFR 56/57. 13021 High-Pressure Connection(100 psi and up) states: Except where automatic shutoff valves are used, safety chains, or other suitable locking devices shall be used at connection 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.

All high-pressure hose assemblies be viewed as potential hazards. It is the user's responsibility to identify the application and any special condition that the hose assembly must meet.

Standard Air Hose Whip Sock/Safety Slings have Eyelets at one end only  & generally comply with most safety requirements, as air hoses rarely break in the middle, they break at the connectors, which is totally secured.
