Choosing the Right Hose Reel

Drum Volume

The reel drum must have enough internal volume to hold the entire hose. We calculate this from the hose OD and length using π × r² × L.

Material Selection

Standard environments work with powder-coated steel. Saltwater requires 304 stainless. Chemical exposure demands 316 marine-grade stainless.

Fit Percentage

Higher fit % means less wasted space on the drum. 75–95% is the sweet spot — some slack is needed for easy winding.
