GRIP-CHEK

  • Hand made stainless steel or galvanised wire mesh stocking designed to afford maximum grip to a rubber hydraulic hose assembly in the event of fitting failure, thereby minimising uncontrolled whip of the assembly
  • Developed to industry requirements in response to increasing demand for higher safety levels in underground mining applications
  • Reusable many times (subject to a maintenance schedule)

Your details
Installation
  • Bind the free end of the weave tightly with tape to ensure a more rapid grip response where initial slipping may otherwise occur
  • Must always be affixed to a suitable load bearing attachment point - NOT hose to hose (use Pir-Chek for hose to hose restraint)
  • The use of Pir-Chek is preferred in the hose size ranges from DN6 to DN20 (-04 to -12).
  • Shackle strength to exceed rated wire breaking strain
  • 13 to 40mm "slack" over shackle bolt is recommended. It must not be tight to the shackle bolt
Material
  • Stainless steel or galvanised wire strands in various configurations to achieve strength requirements
  • Copper ferrules (stainless steel on request)
  • Special configurations such as double looped ends and extended reach can be provided to order (DE as a suffix signifies double ended types with alloy ferrule. Copper and stainless steel ferrules are available on request)
Application
  • Can be used in conjunction with Diffusion Abrasion Sleeve (DAS)
  • Provides a closer and stronger grip on the hose than is possible with whip checks
  • Enables almost direct restraint along the longitudinal axis of the hose to minimise uncontrolled flailing of the hose end
