REELCRAFT
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about REELCRAFT from 3G Electric.
What is the maximum operating pressure for Reelcraft D84000 OLS stainless steel washdown hose reels?
The Reelcraft D84000 OLS is rated to 500 psi maximum operating pressure. It is designed for water or mild chemicals in washdown applications. The reel features stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance and has a 50 ft capacity for 1 in I.D. hose. This model is suitable for industrial environments where frequent cleaning and exposure to moisture are present. The dual-pedestal design provides stability during hose retraction. For specific chemical compatibility, consult the manufacturer's chemical resistance chart.
What is the difference between spring-return and gas spring-return Reelcraft hose reels?
Spring-return Reelcraft reels use a conventional coil spring to retract the hose. Gas spring-return models use a gas-charged cylinder instead, which provides a more controlled and smoother retraction with less oscillation. Gas spring reels are often preferred for longer hose lengths or where precise hose positioning is needed. Both types are available in dual-pedestal or dual-arm configurations. Operating pressure ratings and hose capacities vary by model. Selection depends on hose size, required retraction force, and environmental conditions.
What hose sizes are available for Reelcraft F83000 OLP gas spring-return hose reels?
The Reelcraft F83000 OLP is designed for 3/4 in I.D. hose with a 50 ft capacity. It has a 3/4 in MNPT inlet and outlet. This model is part of the F80000 series, which includes various hose capacities and pressure ratings. For 1 in I.D. hose, consider the FD84000 series, such as the FD84050 OLP with 50 ft capacity. For 1-1/4 in I.D. hose, the FF9500 OLPBW offers 50 ft capacity and 600 psi maximum operating pressure. Always verify the reel's pressure rating matches the application requirements.
Are Reelcraft hose reels suitable for oil and lubricant dispensing?
Yes, Reelcraft offers specific models for oil and lubricant service. The 83050 OMP is a dual-arm oil spring-return hose reel with a 50 ft capacity for 3/4 in I.D. hose. It features a nickel-plated steel swivel and a 3/4 in MNPT hose end. This reel is designed for dispensing and retracting oil or lubricant hoses in industrial maintenance and automotive applications. The nickel-plated steel construction provides corrosion resistance and compatibility with various oils. Ensure the hose and reel materials are compatible with the specific lubricant being used.
What materials are used in Reelcraft dual-pedestal gas spring-return hose reels?
Reelcraft dual-pedestal gas spring-return hose reels are commonly constructed from nickel-plated steel or aluminum. For example, the F83050 OLP and FD84050 OLP feature nickel-plated steel with a red finish. The FF9500 OLPBW is made of red aluminum. Stainless steel models are available for washdown applications, such as the D84000 OLS. The choice of material affects corrosion resistance, weight, and pressure rating. Nickel-plated steel offers a balance of durability and cost, while aluminum reduces weight. Stainless steel provides maximum corrosion resistance for harsh environments.
