Protect-Air HoseGuard® – Essential Air Safety Fuses for Pneumatic Systems

Prevent Hose Whip and Enhance Workplace Safety

Compressed Air Australia is proud to offer the Protect-Air HoseGuard® – a compact, high-performance air safety fuse engineered to protect personnel and equipment from dangerous hose whip incidents in compressed air systems. Whether in manufacturing, mining, automotive, or cleanroom environments, HoseGuard® is a simple yet critical safety device that automatically shuts off air flow in the event of hose failure.

Why HoseGuard®?

When a hose is accidentally ruptured or disconnected, the sudden release of pressurised air can turn it into a high-speed projectile – posing serious risk to workers and damaging nearby equipment. HoseGuard® helps eliminate this hazard by instantly stopping the air flow at the point of failure.

Key Benefits:

• Automatic Shut-Off: Factory pre-set to detect excessive airflow caused by a line break, HoseGuard® reacts instantly without the need for manual operation.

• Tamper-Proof and Reliable: Designed for plug-and-play safety – no adjustments required after installation

• Maintenance-Friendly: An integral bleed hole allows some air to flow through, which enables the line pressure to automatically reset the HoseGuard® once the main break is repaired.

• Broad Application Range: Compatible with a wide variety of compressed air systems in diverse industrial environments.

Certified to International Safety Standards

HoseGuard® meets the strictest global safety regulations, including EN ISO 4414:2010 and the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC – ensuring your operation remains compliant and your workforce protected. Complies with OSHA Standard 29 CFR – 1926.302(b)(7).
