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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePremium stainless construction stands up to salt, chemicals and constant wet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTriangular frame takes a pounding and keeps going, which beats a cantilevered layout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStops the kinks, abrasions and crushing that shorten hose life in storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContained line keeps walkways clear of trip hazards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable spool tension so the drum does not run away from you on a fast pull\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePositive locking pin holds the drum still when the unit is idle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBase arrives with pre-drilled holes for a quick install\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmooth turning bearings shorten deployment and retrieval at the end of the day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWipe down finish with no flaking paint or rust particles for hygiene sensitive sites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Pressure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5000 PSI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInlet Connection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\/2 in.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHigh Flow Swivel and the Half Inch Path\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDrum, Crank, Brake and Pin\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeavy 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstall, Plumb and Maintain\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much line does it store?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e150 feet of 3\/8 in. high pressure hose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the maximum pressure?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e5000 PSI.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it survive salt air and daily washdown?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat is the reason to buy stainless.
