Choose the reel for your application is simple if you follow the following six principles in your choice.
1. Select your reel the hose ID, OD, and length
It's a good idea to always select a hose reel with a larger capacity than you actually need. Rewind hose reel will be much easier, and the pipe will also be more protected from the size of the disk. A slightly larger reel will also protect the hose, even if the coils are not uniformly rewound.
