Protect your most important assets: Your employees, machinery and equipment! Protect-Air HoseGuard® Safety Fuses offer simple and efficient protection to pneumatic systems in the event of a broken compressed air hose or pipe.
The air supply is immediately shut off by the HoseGuard® should the volume of air exceed a set value. This “value” is factory set to allow normal air consumption when using air tools. Should the air consumption exceed the set value (that would happen when a compressed air line is severed), an internal piston instantly shuts off the main flow. An integral bleed hole allows some air to flow through. This enables the line pressure to automatically reset the HoseGuard® once the main break is repaired.
Distributed by Compressed Air Australia, HoseGuard® Safety Fuses are available in aluminium and, on special order, 316L stainless steel, and are suitable for every application where compressed air is used:
HoseGuard® Safety Fuses for Compressed Air Systems meet OSHA and MSHA requirements, and are CE compliant to help Australian managers comply with Workplace Health and Safety Act directives. HoseGuard complies with EN ISO 4414-11.2010-§5.4.5.11.1: Failure of hose assemblies and plastic piping: When failure of a hose assembly or plastic piping constitutes a whiplash hazard, it shall be restrained or shielded by suitable means.
