Safety guarantee

The energy contained within a pressure hose, in case of disconnection from the fitting, can be very dangerous to anyone or anything in its vicinity. The Stopflex retention system was designed to arrest the trajectory of the flexible hose, thus avoiding that the energycontained inside may trigger a frightening “whip effect”. As a matter of fact, thanks to the Stopflex system, the hose issecured to the plant by means of a cable protecting both theoperators and components. Use flexibility Stopflex components can be applied to all kinds of flexible hoses. A band, equipped with a rubber gasket, remains perfectly secured, simultaneously allowing the hose to swell according to the workingpressure. The retaining components can be secured to nipples, to SAE flangesor other system components. Tested protection The Stopflex system, upon correct mounting, was manufacturedand tested to ensure the retention of the hose up to the maximumpressure indicated in this catalogue in compliance with the followingstandards regulating the manufacture of hydraulic flexible hoses:EN 853 EN 854 EN 855EN 856 EN 857 SAE J517

 

N.B. In the market, there are hydraulic flexible hoses capable ofexceeding the pressures indicated in this catalogue. In case you encounter such hoses, please contact our technical departmentfor further ascertainment regarding application thereof.
