How it worksy

Prevent whipping of a pressurised hose in the event of the hose separating from its m tting RETENTION SYSTEM FOR PRESSURE HOSES

1: Disengagement: A hose disengages from its ferrule.

2: Release/venting of pressure The pressurised oil exits from the hose and the release of energy results in the hose gaining considerable velocity , triggering a hazardous iwhip effect” which is very dangerous to anyone or anything in its vicinity.

Step 3: Restraint This is where the Stopn ex system gets into operation: the stainless steel cable is tensioned and restrains the hose, preventing it from ‘whipping’. The plate cuts into the rubber of the hose, to ensure that the clamp remains m rmly attached. The hose clamp and plate absorb the force released from the travel of the n exible hose. This critical step occurs within just a few seconds.

• Protects both the operator and components

• Recommended by the International Hydraulic Safety Authority - the world leader in hydraulic safety training • Suitable for all kinds of n exible hose • Tested protection: compliant with EN 853, EN 854, EN 855, EN 856, EN 857, SAE J517
