COXREELS
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about COXREELS from 3G Electric.
What is the maximum operating pressure for Coxreels spring-return hose reels?
Coxreels spring-return hose reels are available with different maximum operating pressures depending on the model and application. Standard air and water reels, such as the SH-N-450-RH-BXB, are rated to 300 psi. Higher-pressure models, like the THP-N-1100 for grease, can handle up to 5,000 psi. It is important to select a reel with a pressure rating that meets or exceeds the system's maximum working pressure. Always refer to the specific product specifications for exact ratings.
What types of hose reels does Coxreels offer for breathing air and potable water?
Coxreels offers hand-crank hose reels specifically designed for breathing air and potable water applications. An example is the 1125P-4-12, which has a hose capacity of 200 ft of 1/2 in I.D. hose. These reels feature a blue finish, nitrile seals, and a stainless steel swivel to prevent contamination. They are suitable for use in industrial, medical, and food processing environments where clean air or water is required. Proper maintenance and regular inspection are recommended to ensure continued safety and performance.
Can Coxreels hose reels be used with oil or grease?
Yes, Coxreels manufactures hose reels for oil and grease dispensing. For example, the THP-N-1100 is a truck-mounted spring-return reel designed for grease, with a maximum operating pressure of 5,000 psi and a 1/4 in MNPT brass swivel inlet. These reels are built with materials compatible with lubricants, such as brass and nitrile seals. When selecting a reel for oil or grease, consider the hose I.D., pressure rating, and compatibility of seals with the specific fluid. Consult the product datasheet for detailed specifications.
What is the difference between dual-pedestal and large-frame Coxreels hose reels?
Dual-pedestal and large-frame are design variations in Coxreels hose reels. Dual-pedestal reels, like the TSHF-N-635, have two support posts for the reel drum, providing stability for heavier hoses and higher pressures. Large-frame reels, such as the SH-N-450-RH-BXB, are typically used for longer hoses and feature a movable arm for flexible positioning. Both types are available in spring-return configurations. The choice depends on hose size, weight, pressure, and mounting requirements. Review the specifications to ensure proper fit and function.
Are replacement parts available for Coxreels hose reels?
Coxreels hose reels are designed to be repairable, and replacement parts are generally available. Common parts include swivels, seals, springs, and guide arms. 3G Electric can assist in identifying and sourcing the correct parts for your specific Coxreels model. It is recommended to use genuine Coxreels parts to maintain performance and safety.
