Commment: I love my hose reel! In fact I was telling someone the other day how refreshing it was to actually assemble a product that is of such high quality. I’ve just finished building and outfitting a new garage and have become so disappointed in most of the items from home centers, so the quality of your hose reel really made an impression. In function it is smooth and super solid and I love the brake feature. Rock On!

Commment: All of the products I have purchased from Rapid Reel are fabulous. All materials, finishes and fasteners are top notch; almost military grade. Functionality is superior with a very thoughtful design. I never thought I would get this excited about a hose reel but after going through six plastic reels from other manufactures, I will never buy anything but a Rapid Reel product. I told my kids that this hose reel will outlast me and it probably will. Thanks Rapid Reel!

Commment: This is my second unit, the first one is used daily on a dock over salt water. It looks and operates like it was just purchased. In today's world, most products are produced cheaply and or with poor engineering. It is so refreshing to purchase a product that is quality made with good engineering.

I will be purchasing these from now on for other 20 fire stations we have. The best thing about them is that they seem to be Firefighter Proof witch is very hard to find these days.

Your product is top shelf. Stainless steel hardware, real cast iron brackets, a handle that spins, a brake, plated center spindle, heavy duty supply hose....Wow, even the packaging is first rate. Impressive. 'Nuf said!

The reel arrived in a timely manner, was packaged efficiently and all parts were present and accounted for! The product itself is rugged and built to last, and was very simple to install, using the clear, well-written instructions. And if I, a 56 year old female, can install the wall-mounted Rapid Reel by myself onto the side of our brick home, anyone can do it! Thanks y'all!

Commment: I'm a degreed mechanical engineer who appreciates good design. The plastic hose reels I have used in the past are prone to leakage. Yours works perfectly. I just ordered my 2nd reel after several years of satisfied use of my 1st reel.

Commment: You wont find a heavier duty reel for the price. I wish I would not have wasted the money on all those plastic models that broke.

Commment: I bought my second reel as soon as I installed the first one. It is absolutely clear that this product is engineered to last a long time. I am tired of fixing fancy plastic hose reel enclosures.

Commment: Don't even hesitate to buy this hose reel. It is built to last. It is versatile in how you can set it up and easy to install. It is more expensive than the plastic garbage out there, but will last years longer and is a pleasure to wind and unwind. I bought 3 and set them up on each spicket of my house. Well worth it.

Commment: The best engineered and highest quality hose reel I have ever purchased. Assembly instructions and instillation were very clear, understandable and simple. I can not see the need for replacing this for years to come, possibly ever. I will be ordering at least one more in the near future. Thanks for a GREAT product!

Commment: Excellent design, construction and craftsmanship. Kudos to your installation manual creators who made setup understandable, easy and stress free. After going through 3 plastic hose reels that lasted less than one year, I feel like I have finally gotten my money's worth in the Rapid Reel Hose Reel.

Commment: Too bad I could not select a higher number. It is clearly the best made reel I have ever had, seen, used, etc. I am nearly 65 and have tried many reels with varying quality but none like yours. My days of bloody knuckles are over!

Commment: This review won't be very original--pretty much the same as other positive reviews. At first, I balked at the idea of paying over $100 for a hose reel. However, after looking at the specs and some of the reviews on the Rapid Reel, I finally somehow broke down and ordered one. This is really a fine piece of equipment! It's in a completely different league compared to the usual plastic reels. A clever design that allows either parallel or perpendicular mounting. In short, it's a bunch of money, but you're going to have it for a really, really long time, and it works very smoothly; a pleasure to use.

Commment: I've known about Rapid Reel hose reels for many years, but never got around to buying one. I'm glad I finally did! Your reel is a great product, very well made and I'll use it all the time. Shoulda bought one years ago!
Sort By:

What's the difference between parallel and perpendicular mountings?

The simple difference is in what direction the hose gets pulled away from the wall. The parallel configuration pulls the hose out along side the wall, while the perpendicular configuration pulls the hose straight away from the wall.

Are replacement parts available?

Yes. All parts are stocked in Kansas City, MO and can ship in a matter of just hours. FedEx regular ground service from Kansas City will reach 90 percent of the contiguous 48 state locations is just 3 days or less. Parts can be ordered online from this website, by e-mail or by calling customer service at 1-866-523-2363.

Is any assembly required?

Yes.  However, the assembly process is quick and easy.  All required tools are included with the reel.  The assembly process is demonstrated on the ELEY Coroporation's YouTube channel.  Click the link below to view this short video demonstration.

Is it easy to install onto the wall?

How easy the reel installs onto the wall depends a great deal on what type of wall you're mounting it to.  Masonry surfaces and stud walls are the most common.  Mounting hardware is included with the reel.  Stucco walls may be more of a challenge.  Our YouTube channel offers a video demonstration of the installation of the model 1041-GH onto a lap siding wall.   Simply click on the link below. 

 

Installation Video Demonstration

Is this reel available in different colors?

No.  Rapid Reel garden hose reels are available only in a "Spartan bronze" color. This attractive, neutral bronze color was selected for its unique ability to blend in and look great with almost any color of siding, brick, stucco, wood and other surfaces.

Are longer lengths of inlet hose available?

This reel comes with a 6-1/2 ft. x 5/8" all rubber inlet hose equipped with standard garden hose brass fittings. Currently, we do not offer other lengths of this inlet hose.  However, the length of this inlet hose can be extended using one of the two following options:

1) Add a second inlet hose. You may purchase a second 6-1/2 ft. x 5/8" inlet hose (Part # 0.4301.0130), which can be ordered online from this website, by e-mail or by calling customer service at 1-866-523-2363.

2) You can purchase a similar hose from a local supplier. The inlet hose attaches to the reel by simply threading it into the brass swivel....similar to any standard garden hose attachment. 

Can this 5/8" reel be converted for a 3/4" flow rate?

Yes. All Rapid Reel garden hose reels are sold as 5/8" reels. This is due to the inlet hose, which is a 6-1/2 ft. x 5/8" ID hose. However, our patented brass swivel is already a full flow 3/4" swivel. So to convert the reel for 3/4" flow, simply replace the 5/8" inlet hose with a 3/4" inlet hose of your choosing.  You will need to purchase this 3/4" inlet hose (with standard garden hose fittings) from a different source, as Rapid Reel currently does not offer them.

Do you make larger capacity reels?

Yes.  We offer an optional Extra-Capacity Kit (Part #1044) that can be added to this model to increase the capacity of standard 5/8" garden hose from 150 feet, up to 225 feet.  It will increase the capacity for standard 3/4" hose from 100 feet, up to 175 feet.  Click here to view this kit.  Capacity requirements greater than 225 feet of 5/8' hose are not feasible for a manual rewind hose reel. 

How easy is the reel winterized?

Winterization is fairly quick and easy. View PDF Winterization Instructions attachment.

What maintenance is required or recommended?

Rapid Reel hose reels are completely maintenance free.  However, if you live in a winter climate, be sure to winterize the reel to protect it from freeze damage. Click this link to view Winterization Instructions.

Is the reel easily repaired if I forget to winterize it?

Yes. Our belief is that quality products should be repairable - not disposable. If your reel is subjected to freeze damage, repairing it can be done quite easily and quickly. See PDF Plumbing Replacement attachment.

What is the best height to mount the reel on the wall?

Because we are only discussing one variable at this time (height), consider the following ergonomic principles: 1)All work activities should permit the worker to adopt several different, but equally healthy and safe postures 2) Where muscular force has to be exerted it should be done by the largest appropriate muscle groups available. 3)Work activities should be performed with the joints at about mid-point of their range of movement. This applies particularly to the head, trunk, and upper limbs. If possible, position the center of the reel six inches below your belt.
