Hose security

[Nealgl1985]

Do any of you guys secure the fill hose with a strap or a line to the tank or compressor when you are filling your tanks? Do you feel this is a necessary safety measure incase a qd fitting let loose?

If you do run something like this will you please share pictures of your setup.

No.

No but one can easily attach a string, cable, long zip ties, etc. to limit path of travel in case something lets loose. I'm always very aware of keeping my ugly mug far enough away to not get a foster in the forehead. THAT would leave a mark!

I use a small bungee cord.

It's called a whip check.

Couple tie wraps just to capture any initial energy if they let go.
