Features
- The constant vibration created by air tools, like air drills and pavement breakers, is destructive to air hose couplings, especially the quick-acting type
- To provide protection against coupling breakage and related hazards, Dixon® recommends the use of a whip hose
- To construct a whip hose, connect one end of a short (3 to 10 ft ) air hose to the air tool using a 3500 type steel nipple
- Connect the other end of the hose to the air supply using the standard quick-acting coupling
- The heat treated 3500 nipple will withstand vibration far better than the standard coupling and provide a safer connection
- The whip hose should remain permanently connected to the tool
- For air and water service only
- Do not use in connection with drinking water
- Wash hands after handling
