Description
Four-Eye Hose Restraint (Stainless Steel)
A hose restraint, also called a hose whip restraint or hose safety cable, secures a hydraulic or pneumatic hose to a fixed anchor point. This stops the hose whipping if a coupling fails or the hose itself bursts under pressure. This four-eye stainless restraint wraps around the hose with a woven wire mesh body and closes to four eyes along its length. This gives four attachment points for securing to fixed anchor points, in a stainless steel finish for corrosion resistance.
The mesh tightens its grip around the hose as tension increases. Consequently, the restraint holds its position under load rather than sliding along the hose. Basically, the harder the pull on an anchor line, the tighter the mesh grips the hose.
Four-Eye Hose Restraint (Stainless Steel) Sizing
Specifically, this range covers lengths from 0m to 20m in half-metre increments, based on hose run length rather than hose diameter. Four eyes sit along that length, anchoring at multiple points.
Generally, the correct length is the one that matches the hose run or section the installer actually needs to restrain, measured before ordering. Indeed, ordering the wrong length is the most common reason a restraint does not sit correctly along the hose. Furthermore, the four eye attachment points only anchor effectively when the restraint’s length matches the span it covers.
Key Features
- Woven wire mesh body
- Four eye attachment points spaced along its length
- Stainless Steel finish
- Tightens its grip on the hose as tension increases
Applications
Installers use this restraint wherever a long hydraulic or pneumatic hose run needs anchoring at multiple points along its length, rather than at a single end. Accordingly, the stainless finish suits outdoor, marine or corrosive environments where a galvanised finish would not last as well. Generally, the four-eye arrangement suits a longer or heavier hose run than a two-eye restraint.
Correct selection always starts with the length of hose run being restrained. Additionally, installers should confirm the restraint’s rated pull matches the job before use, since a length match alone does not confirm load suitability. Also, a cable stocking and a hose restraint have different intended tasks, so the correct product type should be confirmed for the application before ordering.
