Designed to prevent hose whip if the hose couplings or clamps separate, whip checks create a bridge between each side of a hose fitting to create an added layer of safety. Whip checks are an important safety feature for air hoses because a hose or coupling failure can cause serious injuries and accidents
Typically, whip checks are used on air hoses carrying no more than 200 PSI.
