Salva-Vida Whip Check Safety Sling

DESCRIPTION:
A pressurised air hose could cause the hose assembly to whip with extreme force due to the sudden release of energy in the case of hose failure or accidental uncoupling. In the event of the hose whipping it can be lethal and could cause a potentially
dangerous situation. To prevent such a situation from occurring a whip check (air hose safety sling) has been designed to ensure the safety of workers, prevent injury and possible infrastructure damage.

INSTALLATION OF A SAFETY SLING:
• The installation of an air hose safety sling requires no tools.
• The spring loaded eyes of the air hose safety sling are pulled open and slid over each hose. This provides the sling with an excellent grip on the hose and avoiding it from whipping in the case of accidents.

CONSTRUCTION ON AIR HOSE SAFETY SLING:
The safety sling is constructed with a non-corrosive high strength steel wire rope which redirects strain from the coupling to the whip check upon installation.The air hose safety sling is constructed from 3, 4 or 5mm steel wire rope depending
on the size requirements. The Salva-Vida whip check is manufactured in 4 different sizes to suite 1/2”, 1”, 2” & 3” air hoses, including fittings. The maximum working pressure for the air hose safety sling is 10 Bar.
