Reelcraft’s Did You Know videos and content give helpful tips and tricks about your reel, accessories and other available options to help make your reel the best it can be!
Did you know you can lock your swing bracket in place using a locking pin?
Our 600992 and 600993 swing brackets for Series RT, 4000, 5000, and 5005 reels come with a locking pin to securely stow your reel in your desired position. Simply line the bracket with the holes and lock your reel into place.
Did you know we have reusable fittings?
If your hose fitting is broken or damaged and needs to be replaced, you don’t have to replace the entire hose. Simply cut off the damaged hose end and install the new fitting. Make sure to tighten it enough to prevent leaks. Note: For low pressure, air and water applications only.
Sizes available (Hose I.D. / End Fitting Size):
– 1/4” / 1/4” NPT (S260306)
– 1/4” / 3/8” NPT (S260306-1)
– 3/8” / 1/4” NPT (S260306-2)
– 3/8” / 3/8” NPT
– 1/2” / 3/8” NPT
Did you know there’s an easier way to install your hose on a Series 30000 reel?
Take the gooseneck off of your reel by removing the socket screws. Then, attach the gooseneck to your hose (seal the hose end with tape). Install the gooseneck back onto your reel and ensure all screws are tightened thoroughly. Begin to wind your hose onto your Series 30000 reel.
Did you know we have conversion kits for our Series 9000 reels?
Our Series 9000 reels are designed with the roller guides assemblies in a bottom wind position built into the full width frame. In certain applications, you’ll want to adjust the direction of the hose to increase the longevity of the hose.
To adjust the direction, install our hose guide roller conversion kits to allow Series 9000 reels to be converted to top wind or side wind positions.
Did you know we have swivel fittings on some of our hoses?
Some of our low and medium pressure air/water hose assemblies include one end fitting to be a swivel. This allows you to twist just the swivel fitting instead of the entire hose making installation quicker and easier.
