FAQs
What is the primary advantage of the auto-rewind feature?
The auto-rewind feature automatically retracts the hose back into the reel, keeping your workspace tidy, preventing trip hazards, and prolonging the life of the hose by preventing damage from being left on the floor.
Can this hose reel be used in a paint booth or bodyshop?
Yes, the hose is constructed from silicone-free PVC and rubber, making it ideal for use in bodyshops where silicone contamination can cause paint defects.
What is the internal diameter of the hose?
The internal diameter of the hose is 10mm, which is equivalent to 3/8 inches.
What size BSP coupling does it have?
The hose reel is fitted with 1/4" BSP couplings for connection to your air source.
How do I stop the hose at a specific length?
Pull the hose out to the desired length. The auto-stop function will engage and hold the hose in place. To release, gently pull the hose slightly further to disengage the lock, then allow it to retract.
Does it come with mounting hardware?
Yes, the hose reel includes a wall mounting swivel bracket and the necessary fixings for installation.
What is the total length of the hose?
The hose provided with this reel is 15 metres long.
Troubleshooting
Hose not retracting smoothly
Check for obstructions or kinks in the hose. Ensure the hose is fully extended to reset the auto-retract mechanism, then attempt retraction again. Clean any debris from the hose guide system.
Auto-stop function not holding the hose
Ensure the hose is pulled out sufficiently to engage the locking mechanism. Check for any debris that might be preventing the locking pawls from engaging correctly.
Low airflow through the hose
Verify that the air compressor is operating at the correct pressure. Check for leaks in the connections and ensure the 1/4" BSP coupling is securely attached. The hose diameter may also be a factor if the tool requires a larger bore.
Hose reel makes unusual noises during retraction
This could indicate the need for lubrication within the retraction mechanism. Consult the manufacturer's guidelines or seek professional assistance if unsure. Ensure no foreign objects are inside the housing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Select a suitable mounting location on a wall or ceiling. Ensure the chosen spot can support the weight of the reel and hose, especially when extended.
- Use the provided swivel bracket and fixings to securely mount the hose reel.
- Connect the 1/4" BSP inlet coupling to your air compressor's air line. Ensure the compressor is turned off and depressurized before connecting.
- For optimal performance, ensure your air compressor can supply adequate airflow and pressure for the tools you intend to use with the hose.
Compatibility:
- Compatible with standard workshop air compressors equipped with a 1/4" BSP outlet.
- Suitable for use with pneumatic tools requiring standard workshop air pressure and flow rates.
- The 10mm (3/8") internal diameter hose is ideal for tools that require moderate to high airflow.
Care:
- Periodically inspect the hose for any signs of damage or wear.
- Ensure the retraction mechanism is free from debris. Wipe the housing and hose with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
- Do not force the hose during retraction; allow the mechanism to guide it.
- Store the reel in a dry environment when not in use for extended periods.
