Safety guarantee

Garanzia di Sicurezza

The energy contained within a pressure hose, in case of disconnection from the fitting, can be very dangerous to anyone or anything in its vicinity.

The Stopflex retention system was designed to arrest the trajectory of the flexible hose, thus avoiding that the energy contained inside may trigger a frightening “whip effect”.

As a matter of fact, thanks to the Stopflex system, the hose is secured to the plant by means of a cable protecting both the operators and components.

Use flexibility

Garanzia di Sicurezza

Stopflex components can be applied to all kinds of flexible hoses.

A band, equipped with a rubber gasket, remains perfectly secured, simultaneously allowing the hose to swell according to the working pressure.

The retaining components can be secured to nipples, to SAE flanges or other system components.

Tested protection

Garanzia di Sicurezza

The Stopflex system, upon correct mounting, was manufactured and tested to ensure the retention of the hose up to the maximum pressure indicated in this catalogue in compliance with the following standards regulating the manufacture of hydraulic flexible hoses:

UNI EN 853
UNI EN 854
UNI EN 855
UNI EN 856
UNI EN 857
