Overview

The Holman Portable Aluminium Hose Reel is a hand cart style reel built from heavy duty aluminium and high strength long life plastic. It is designed to outlast outdoor conditions while keeping the hose tidy and easy to move. The reel arrives fitted with a 15m garden hose and the connectors you need to run it, so assembly is quick.

Two plastic hose end connectors are included, along with a 20/25mm tap adaptor and a tap to reel adaptor. Once the reel is connected to a garden tap you can pull the hose out to the length you need and wind it back by hand when the job is done.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the reel come with the hose and fittings?

Yes. The reel is supplied fitted with a 15m garden hose, two 12mm hose connectors, a 20/25mm tap adaptor and a tap to reel adaptor. You add a nozzle or gun of your choice and connect the tap adaptor to the garden tap to start watering. The tap to reel adaptor means you do not need to buy extra parts just to get from the tap to the reel; the adaptor screws onto the tap and the reel hose clips straight on.

What pressure is the hose rated to?

The hose is rated to 1000kPa burst pressure, which suits standard Australian mains water pressure for domestic garden use. If you run higher pressure through a pressure washer setup, use a hose matched to that pressure rating instead. The 1000kPa figure is the burst rating, so the hose carries normal mains flow comfortably and still has a wide margin before it is under stress.

Is the reel easy to assemble?

Yes. The reel is designed for simple assembly with the parts supplied in the box. The frame, hose and connectors go together in a few steps, and the included tap to reel adaptor removes the need to build a separate tap hose.
