5000PSI A-Frame Stainless Steel Hose Reel 3/8" x 150'

Stainless Steel A-Frame Hose Reel, 150 Feet, 5000 PSI

This stainless steel A-frame hose reel is what washing contractors, plant maintenance managers and offshore operators pick when corrosion is the real enemy. Food processing floors, marine shipyards and chemical handling sites chew through coated steel reels, and a rusted frame is both an equipment failure and a hazard to the operator. High grade stainless shrugs off salt spray, caustic cleaners and standing moisture instead. It stores 150 feet of 3/8 in. high pressure line and tops out at 5000 PSI.

Features

• Premium stainless construction stands up to salt, chemicals and constant wet
• Triangular frame takes a pounding and keeps going, which beats a cantilevered layout
• Stops the kinks, abrasions and crushing that shorten hose life in storage
• Contained line keeps walkways clear of trip hazards
• Adjustable spool tension so the drum does not run away from you on a fast pull
• Positive locking pin holds the drum still when the unit is idle
• Base arrives with pre-drilled holes for a quick install
• Smooth turning bearings shorten deployment and retrieval at the end of the day
• Wipe down finish with no flaking paint or rust particles for hygiene sensitive sites

Specifications

Where a Coated Frame Gives Up and Stainless Does Not

Powder coated steel looks fine on the shelf. Put it in a washdown bay or near salt air and the coating chips, moisture creeps underneath, and rust does the rest. Once that starts you are looking at structural failure on a part that holds a heavy load under pressure. Stainless removes the coating from the equation entirely, so the frame stays sound and still looks presentable after years in service. In food plants and other hygiene critical rooms that also means nothing flakes off into the work area.

High Flow Swivel and the Half Inch Path

The swivel carries female pipe thread connections at 1/2 in. on both ends, which is a real step up from the 3/8 in. swivels found on lighter units. Wider internal geometry means less turbulence and less pressure drop, so full volume reaches the nozzle without being squeezed on the way. That matters on high flow machines. The same wide path also lets you move to 1/2 in. line later if you take on low pressure, high volume work. Precision machining and high pressure seals hold up to operators who are hard on a trigger.

Drum, Crank, Brake and Pin

Heavy gauge stainless forms the drum, and its edges are smoothed so winding never scores the hose jacket. The crank handle is welded in place and positioned so one person can bring in 150 feet of water filled line without a fight. Every part from the axle to the mounting bolts is picked for strength against the elements. The friction brake fine tunes drag on the spool, which is the difference between a clean wrap and a tangled mess when you are moving quickly. A locking pin secures everything between jobs.

Install, Plumb and Maintain

The base is drilled already, so bolt it to a truck floor, a flatbed deck or a wall bracket in a wash bay. Use quality bolts and large washers to spread the load, especially into wood or thinner sheet metal, because a loaded drum pulls hard on its fasteners. Put PTFE tape or liquid pipe dope on the 1/2 in. male fittings. Because the threads are 1/2 in. FPT, standard 3/8 in. washer hose needs a 1/2 in. to 3/8 in. reducer bushing, sold separately, to finish the connection. Upkeep is light. Check the swivel for weeping, grease it if it has a zerk, and rinse the frame to clear dirt and chemical residue.

Common Questions

How much line does it store?

150 feet of 3/8 in. high pressure hose.

What is the maximum pressure?

5000 PSI.

Will it survive salt air and daily washdown?

That is the reason to buy stainless. It resists salt, chemicals and moisture far better than a coated frame does.

What fitting do I need for 3/8 in. hose?

A 1/2 in. to 3/8 in. reducer bushing, which is sold separately.
