Description
Bulky standard hose reels eat up floor space inside service truck utility bodies. Installing the Coxreels Side Mount welding Hose reel utilizes vertical cabinet walls to organize 75 feet of 1/4-inch twin welding line. Rated at 200 PSI, it feeds oxy-acetylene torches. The side-mount bracket limits mounting strictly to flat vertical structural surfaces.
The chassis relies on a heavy-gauge stamped steel mounting plate with CNC rolled reinforcing ribs to prevent distortion. Dual independent brass swivels feature Viton packings, keeping fuel gas and oxygen streams separated without cross-port leakage. An adjustable steel guide arm directs hose payout smoothly away from cabinet doors. Retraction is powered by an enclosed cartridge-style steel spring motor, matched with a solid 1-inch axle turning on sealed precision bearings to deliver smooth line recovery.
Side Mount Oxy-Fuel Matrix Data
Field service mechanics need compact twin-line storage that bolts flat inside vehicle side compartments. This side-mount frame isolates hazardous gases while clearing floor deck space.
- 200 PSI maximum working pressure rating accommodates commercial oxygen and acetylene cutting torches.
- 75-foot 1/4-inch twin-line hose capacity provides extended reach around large earthmoving machinery.
- Dual independent brass swivels prevent fuel gas and oxygen crossover leakage during spool rotation.
- Flat side-mount steel bracket attaches flush to vehicle cabinet walls or structural vertical uprights.
- Adjustable 4-way roller guide arm directs twin hose away from sharp cabinet door edges.
- Multi-position locking ratchet holds desired working hose reach without spring pull-back.
- Rolled-edge steel drum flanges protect twin siamese rubber hose covers from cut damage.
Gas Pressure Flow Bench Telemetry
Pneumatic testing protocols confirm flow balancing and pressure integrity across both gas circuits. Passing 40 PSI acetylene and 90 PSI oxygen through the twin brass swivels demonstrates zero cross-port pressure leakage across four hours of static pressure hold. Swivel housing metal temperatures match ambient room conditions throughout tests. Decibel measurements show 67 dBA at 3 feet during spring return. The enclosed clock spring produces 25 inch-pounds of pull force, drawing 75 feet of twin line across gravel without stalling.
Field Service Maintenance Boundaries
Cramped truck tool cabinets expose hardware to dirt and road shock. Do not use this reel for propane or alternate LP gas mixtures unless replacing the standard grade R seals with grade T packings. Never lubricate brass gas swivels with petroleum grease lubricants.
- Perform soapy water leak tests on brass swivels every 30 operating days.
- Inspect twin hose covers for flame scorch marks each morning before use.
- Check side-mount cabinet wall bolts for looseness after rough haul-road driving.
