Description
Loose oxy-acetylene torch lines dragged across abrasive scrap yard slag suffer heat punctures and create explosive gas leaks. The Coxreels Welding Hand Crank Hose reel stores 200 feet of dual 1/4-inch T-grade hose at 200 PSI. It eliminates dangerous trip hazards. The manual crank handle slips from greasy gloves without firm grip during line retrieval.
Coxreels fabricates this welding reel from heavy-gauge robotic-welded carbon steel with solid tie rods to prevent side-plate spreading. The dual fluid path incorporates two independent brass swivels with viton seals designed for volatile fuel gases and pure oxygen up to 200 PSI. The factory-installed T-grade hose handles all commercial fuel gases, including propane, natural gas, and acetylene. A direct hand crank with a composite revolving handle provides positive mechanical spooling.
Field Hardware Performance Matrix
Scrap processing yards and mobile welding rigs require dependable torch hose storage that operates without electrical spark hazards. Heavy-gauge welded steel frames and isolated dual brass swivels deliver safe combustible gas management across remote field sites.
- 200-foot 1/4-inch inner diameter T-grade dual welding hose accommodates acetylene, propane, propylene, and natural gas.
- 200 PSI maximum working pressure rating handles commercial oxy-fuel cutting and heating torches.
- Dual independent brass swivels route oxygen and fuel gas streams through isolated chambers without cross-leaks.
- Heavy-gauge all-steel A-frame chassis resists structural bending during long-distance line pulls.
- Solid steel direct-drive hand crank provides positive manual line retrieval without motor failure risks.
- Spun steel drum discs feature rolled outer edges to protect delicate rubber gas hoses from cuts.
- Adjustable drag brake eliminates drum freewheeling and prevents line overrun during rapid hose payout.
Dyno Load Realities Heat Data
Flow testing with oxygen and propane shows less than 1.5 PSI pressure loss through the dual brass swivels at 30 PSI gas working pressures. Manual crank torque testing shows an initial winding effort of 6.0 foot-pounds with empty hose, climbing to 18.0 foot-pounds when winding 200 feet of hose. The dual brass swivel bodies stabilize at ambient room temperature during gas flow. The adjustable drag brake holds spool position without slipping under dynamic line tension. Operating sound remains silent.
Field Service Application Limits
Weighing 49 pounds with hose installed, mounting this manual welding reel requires four 3/8-inch grade 5 bolts into truck beds or shop columns. Do not use this welding reel for transferring motor oil, gasoline, or high-pressure water. Petroleum oils degrade T-grade hose covers and create dangerous combustion risks when exposed to pure oxygen streams.
- Test both brass swivel units for combustible gas leaks every month using approved leak-detection bubble spray.
- Inspect the dual T-grade hose cover for slag burns or cuts before lighting cutting torches.
- Check frame mounting bolts for tightness every 250 operating hours to maintain rigid mounting.
