Anti-whiplash cable for fire hoses - A must for the safety of firefighters and industrial workers
Ensure the safety of firefighters and users with the anti-whiplash cable, an indispensable accessory for your fire hoses. Designed to avoid the dangerous effect of whiplash in the event of rupture or uncoupling, this cable protects teams during firefighting operations by limiting the risk of hose tearing. Manufactured to NF EN 982 and NF ISO 4413 standards, and in compliance with Directive 95/63/EC, it meets the safety requirements of the French Labour Code.
With loops attached to the ends of the hoses and held in place by springs, the anti-whiplash cable effectively secures fittings against shock, pressure variations or water hammer. Ideal for hydraulic installations, compressed air hoses or emergency response systems, this tool guarantees optimum protection while preserving the durability of your equipment. Indispensable for safe intervention in compliance with the strictest standards.
Advantages of anti-whiplash fire hose cable
- Accident prevention: avoids the dangerous whiplash effect caused by hose rupture or uncoupling, protecting firefighters and working environments.
- Standards compliance: this anti-whiplash cable complies with standards NF EN 982 and NF ISO 4413, as well as European Directive 95/63/EC, guaranteeing safety in line with regulatory and legal requirements.
