The air supply for this particular unit has to mean we have to ensure that those gaskets are in good repair and the class was not damaged.
Also, the retainer on the double bolt clamp, the two retainers, have to catch the edge of the fitting itself and that is the stem of the ferrule itself that goes down inside the house.
So, ensure that all of this is tight, and the gasket is in good repair. Also, to that gasket has to marry the secondary gasket which is the coupling side of this.
So, where these two go together, there is an alternate gasket. So, one to the gaskets must be in good repair and on a conic of a conical shape. The whip check slides over the A-type coupling gasket and is backed into the stem of the fitting itself so that and the retainer must come up and slide forward.
The spring does this for you to hold it in place so then we couple the unit up like so. It’s important to remember that when you couple these up, there’s not too much stress or the hose if it’s not laid appropriately. We’ll have what we call recoil in it anyway.
So, primary recall is something you need to relinquish prior to trying to fit these up, otherwise, it can spin back off. So, now, that we have that in place with the A-type couplings, there is also a securing pin hole on either side. So, with a pin, we can slide the pin into the two holes, slide the pin around so that this fitting can now maintain its functionality without coming undone, so the whip check itself.
Happy days, not really because the whip check needs to be nice and tight. If that was loose like that if the hose came off as you’ll see. If the hose comes off for any reason with slack in the whip check, the hose can swing around quite easily.
So, it’s important that when you utilize a whip check, you ensure that the whip check is tight. So, that if the hose does come undone, the whip checks taut and will hold the hose within a reasonable area of the surface.
So, prior to anyone getting hurt from the things whipping around of its own volition, the air itself goes into what we call a regulator. The regulator is governed by a small diaphragm in the top.
