Braided galvanized steel or corrosion-resistant stainless steel. It absorbs the immediate kinetic shock of a decoupled line.

The storage of energy in pressurized systems is a fundamental aspect of modern industry. However, this energy creates inherent risks. According to physics principles, when a pressurized hose separates from its fitting, the pressurized fluid escapes rapidly. According to Newton’s Third Law, the force of the escaping fluid creates an equal and opposite reaction, propelling the hose in an erratic, high-velocity motion. This phenomenon is known as "hose whip."

The Whipcheck acts as a tether. In a standard configuration, one end of the cable is attached to the tool or pipe nipple, and the other end is attached to the hose itself.

There are two primary categories of Whipchecks used in industry:
