RYCO CROC SYSTEM – YOUR SAFETY BARRIER

May 5, 2020

The RYCO CROC System is a 3-in-1 safety device and works as a burst suppressor, whip check, and protects the hose from abrasion. It also provides a cost effective method of bundling hoses together, while providing abrasion resistance to the bundle. Why is it necessary? If a hose assembly is installed in a high risk area, and there is no other practical means to provide adequate protection from the uncontrolled escape of pressurised fluids, a hose assembly energy diffusion device may be appropriate if an unacceptable residual risk remains for potential harm to people. (MDG 41, Clause 3.8.2.8.) What are the RYCO CROC System’s components? CROCSTOP: The RYCO CROCSTOP allows quick and easy inspection of the hose assembly without having to disconnect the hose assembly in its entirety. It also acts as a whip check to contain hose and couplings within the sleeve in the event of separation. CROCSLEEVE: The CROCSLEEVE component of the CROC system helps to protect the hose assembly from damage caused by aggressive or excessive abrasion that can lead to premature hose assembly failure. Available in ...
