When hose, couplings or clamps fail, or there is an accidental separation of the assembly, these safety cables minimize damage to equipment and injuires to operators. Whipcheck reaches across the hose fittings to provide stand-by safety for hose. Spring-loaded loops in the cable ends open easily to pass over the couplings for a firm grip on the hose. Thoroughly tested with years of service. King safety cable must be installed in the extended position, (no slack).
