Breaker accessories are designed to complement breaker tools and equipment, maximising their performance and ensuring operator safety. These accessories include components such as compressor hoses and whipcheck leads, which are specifically engineered to address common challenges and potential risks associated with breaker operations.
Compressor Hose
A compressor hose is an essential accessory that connects the breaker tool to the air compressor, providing the necessary airflow for operation. It plays a vital role in enhancing efficiency by delivering a consistent and controlled air supply to the breaker tool. Compressor hoses are available in various lengths and diameters to accommodate different working conditions and equipment requirements.
Claw Fit Clamps
Claw fit clamps are commonly used at both ends of the compressor hose to ensure a secure and leak-free connection. These clamps feature a claw-like design that tightly grips the hose, preventing any air leakage and maintaining optimal performance. The use of claw fit clamps enhances the efficiency of the compressor hose, ensuring continuous and uninterrupted airflow to the breaker tool.
Claw fit clamps are generally reusable, as they can be detached and reinstalled on different hoses as needed. However, it is important to inspect them regularly for wear and damage and replace them when necessary.
Suitability for One and Two Tool Compressors
Compressor hoses are designed to be suitable for use with both one and two tool compressors. This versatility allows contractors to adapt the equipment configuration to the specific demands of the job. Whether using a single breaker tool or multiple tools simultaneously, a properly selected compressor hose ensures efficient airflow distribution and reliable operation.
Whip Check
The whip check, also known as a king cable hose restraint, is a safety device designed to prevent hose whip in the event of two hoses becoming uncoupled while under pressure. Hose whip refers to the uncontrolled flailing and movement of a pressurised hose, which can cause serious injuries and damage to nearby equipment or personnel. The whip check acts as a safeguard by restraining the hoses, limiting their movement and potential harm in case of an uncoupling incident.
Whip checks can be used with most types of hoses, provided they are properly sized and installed according to manufacturer guidelines.
Ensuring Safety on the Job
Breaker accessories such as compressor hoses and whip checks are integral to ensuring safety on construction and demolition sites. By providing reliable connections, preventing hose whip, and minimising potential risks, these accessories protect operators, nearby workers, and equipment from accidents and injuries. The use of proper accessories demonstrates a commitment to safety and promotes a secure working environment.
Breaker accessories should be inspected regularly for signs of wear, damage, or leaks. Any worn or damaged components should be replaced promptly to ensure optimal performance and safety.
