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.

I've had one pop off the fitting, totally my fault. It just jumped off without much fanfare at around 200 bar. Microbore don't have much air volume I guess
