Whip Hoses

Published November 29, 2014 | By winunited

Constant vibration created by Air Hammers, Drills and Breakers can be destructive to air hose couplings, especially the quick-acting style. To provide extra protection, connect one end of a 1-3 metre length of air hose to the tool using a heat-treated steel nipple which will withstand vibration for a longer period. Connect the other end of the Whip Hose to the air supply with
the quick-acting coupling. Whip Hoses should remain permanently connected to the tool and should be the same diameter as the supply line hose.
