What happens here

When using hose whips with your paint sprayer, safety is paramount. Every hose whip has a maximum pressure rating. It is critical that the pressure rating of your hose whip is equal to or, ideally, higher than the maximum operating pressure of your paint pump. For example, if your pump is rated for 3000-3200 PSI, a hose whip rated at 5075 PSI (like some custom ones) provides a good safety margin. Using a hose whip that is rated for less pressure than your pump can handle creates a significant safety hazard and should never be done. Always verify the pressure ratings of all components before use.

Goal: Hose whips must have a pressure rating equal to or higher than your pump's maximum pressure. Using a whip with a lower pressure rating can be unsafe and should be avoided.

manufacturers and stuff so this person's a bit concerned about the safety of hose whips since they can't handle as much pressure you can't handle the pressure so every hose with I've ever seen it has pressure that's higher than the actual pump itself so I'm not sure sar into 3200 PSI some are rated it or thousands some are rated at 5700 and up from there so yeah see don't be a and make sure you run under that guideline si I think the the hose whips that we our custom-made hose whips that we send out the line rain was there rated it five thousand seventy five psi and your pumps are typically mated I believe three thousand and thirty one thirty two hundred psi most consumer or contractor grade electric spray rigs are three thousand psi our eyes yeah save me thirty two hundred but if you do have a hose whip that this rated less than your pump that obviously can be an issue and probably shouldn't be using it together
