A Whipsock is a high-pressure hose restraint designed to help manage hose movement and reduce the risk associated with hose or connection failure. Its woven steel construction grips the hose over a larger surface area than a conventional whip check, helping distribute restraint forces along the hose.

Abrasion and wear can occur around hose fittings and other contact points, potentially contributing to hose deterioration or failure. The woven steel construction can also help protect the covered section of hose against external abrasion, providing an additional layer of protection.

Whipsocks are suitable for a range of hose applications, including compressed air, water, hydraulic and slurry systems, subject to the product’s specifications and suitability for the operating conditions.

The combination of two attachment points and an extended gripping area helps restrain hose movement. All attachment points, shackles and associated hardware must be appropriately rated for the application and installed in accordance with the relevant requirements.

Whipsock provides an additional measure of protection for high-pressure hose systems, helping support safer operations and reduce the potential consequences of hose movement or connection failure.
