1-1/4" King Safety Whipsock

ApplicationsIn the event of a high-pressure hose assembly failure, King Safety Whipsocks provide stand-by safety and minimize uncontrolled whippingUsed in high pressure air, water, hydraulic, and slurry applicationsFeaturesDual anchor points secure hose-to-hose and hose-to-rigid anchor pointsWoven cable grips the hose securely over a large area while protecting it from everyday abrasion and wearConstructionGalvanized steel wireStainless steel options available upon requestSpiral guard to prevent cable wear caused coupling vibrationsInstallationInstructions for properly Installing, Securing and Maintaining King Safety Whipsock (High pressure hose restraint designed to secure hose-to-hose and hose-to-rigid anchor points to minimize uncontrolled movement in the event of hose connection failure or separation.)Step 1: Select the appropriate King Safety Whipsock based on the hose O.D. and working pressure of the hose. Forshorter assemblies a custom double ended, 4-eye Whipsock, must be used. Note: Only use custom Whipsockson the specific length and diameter it is labelled for.Step 2: Always ensure to inspect entire King Safety Whipsock for frayed wire and corrosion before each use andinstallation. Replace immediately if damaged or worn.Step 3: It is necessary that the hose is clean and free form oil and dirt before use.Step 4: Compress the tail end of the King Safety Whipsock to open the ID, work the stocking to slide the grip down thelength of the hose. Run your hands down the grip from the coupling end to the tail to smooth out any gaps orloose wires in the grip to ensure contact with the hose.Step 5: After coupling, slide the King Safety Whipsock up the hose into secured position just behind the fitting, ensuringthe eyes have enough length to reach the anchoring points. Avoid overlapping the stockings if King SafetyWhipsocks are on each end of the hose.Step 6: Using a King Safety Shackle or bolt, nut & pin style clasp, rated above the breaking strength of the hose, securethe hose restraint at two horizontally opposed, rigid anchor points rated for the application.Step 7: Slight slack in the legs is preferred. This will allow a travel distance for coupling in disconnection and greatlyreduce the load applied to the hose restraint. A travel distance of up to 1" - 2" (40-50mm) is recommended. Note: For ease of installation it's recommended to attach prior to installing coupling assembly.Safety notesBe sure the anchoring points are rated for the application.
