Safe operation of hand-held control guns requires the use of a safety shroud to guard the operator from failure of the hose fitting at the point where it is connected to the gun. Both of these shrouds have a nitrile outer cover, which resists oil, water, and many solvents, and an inner layer of braided stainless steel. Safety shrouds are essential equipment and should be used in conjunction with a whip hose, which allows for connection to different high pressure sources without the need to make frequent connections to the gun. The European Type Shroud, which will fit virtually any gun, is held in place by an adjustable strap. It is lightweight, has universal application, and it is a popular alternative to the standard screw type shroud. The Screw Type Shroud is held in place by a shroud adapter. This style is customized to git specific guns and is very reliable and durable.
