How to Select a Hose Reel
First, consider the application and pressure requirements. For most pneumatic tools, you may only need a reel that handles up to 300 psi, while a reel to transfer oil would need up to 2000 psi. Grease and lubrication application would need up to 4000 psi, while a simple water application would only need up to 300 psi.
Your application will also help determine the ID (Inside Diameter) requirement for the hose and fittings on the hose reel. Applications where more torque is needed for larger pneumatic tools or heavy repairs, larger ID's may be required.
Once you have determined your application requirements, consider the length of the hose needed based on the placement of the hose reel in the work area.Keep in mind when choosing the length of hose, the longer it is, the greater the possibility of pressure loss.
