Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / compressed air hoses & fittings | | Dutch term or phrase: borgmoersluit(en) | Precious little context, unfortunately.
General context: industrial 'safe procedure' document (Belgian) describing safety requirements for using tools.
Specific context: table of 'specific safety requirements for tools', column heading 'pneumatisch', item heading 'luchtslangen', bullet item 'Borgmoersluiten versorgen'. Remaining bullet items under that heading: 'Degelijke opstelling' and 'Afsluiten d.m.v. plooien verboden'.
That's it.
Maybe these are cap/plug fittings to prevent dirt from entering the air hose when it isn't in use (I could easily be wrong...) |

| | retaining nut(s') clips/pins | Explanation:
bullet then reads: Secure retaining nut(s') clips/pins.
This sounds like the belt and braces type of safety solution where a retaining nut is doubly secured with a (split) pin through a hole in the bolt and castelations on the retaining nut itself when the nut is in place.
An alternative is a clip, or disc with two wings on a secure cross section of the bolt, with the wings being bent vertically against the flat sides of the retaining nut one the nut has been screwed down.
In both case the nut cannot work loose when the tool or equipment is in use and vibrating in some way.

In the context of pneumatic tools, they could very well be the retaining nuts on the end of an air hose to which a tool is connected with a screw fitting, probably with the (split) pin solution, so that the air hose does not accidentally become detached and create chaos.

PS. I was an apprentice in the aircraft industry many, many years ago, with prolific use of pneumatic tools throughout the factory.
Not as much fun as being a tank commander like sammi, I guess. But did get to see a TSR2 flying, despite George Brown\'s Ministry of Technology position that it was \"only an aeroplane on paper\" when they cancelled it as a sop to the pacifists in the \'old\' Labour party in the mid 1960s.

In line with the belt and braces analogy, maybe even:
insert/secure retaining nut locking pin/clip |

| Grading comment Thanks; makes perfect sense, and 'belt & braces' schemes are common in safety practices.
