HOSE RESTRAINTS
The Australian Standards for High Pressure Water Jetting (AS/NZS 4233.1:2013) states that "all hoses shall be restrained" to prevent injury if they fail.
AS/NZS 4233.1:2013 - 1.6.17 Hose restraint
"A device that is attached to the hose and is able to restrain, withstand and contain the energy created at the time of a hose or hose coupling failure".
This is a picture of a wire braided hose restraint and carabiner that now come with all our jetters.
If you want your jetter to comply, they can be purchased for just $95 +GST.
HOSE CENTURION
