Looking for Answers about ReelWorks Mini Hose Reel with 26-Ft. PVC Hose, Model# L710082?

The ReelWorks Mini Hose Reel can be mounted to the ceiling.

Yes. I mounted it on a ceiling area in my garage. You must, however, reinforce the area and make certain you have a good sturdy mounting surface. It is fairly heavy and you would not want it to come down on you.

Yes, according the manual it is ceiling or wall mountable.

Yes, it is ceiling mountable. I have two on the wall and one on the ceiling.

That's how I mounted the reel I bought. However, I did use a safety cable through the hole provided on the reel housing and then over the top of the square tubing that I bolted the reel to. Sometimes I have visitors in my shop and want to avoid any incidents.

Yes. Just make sure the bracket is secured to a joist using lag bolts. Mark the bracket, predrill the holes into the wood, and fasten the lag screws so the bottom of the heads are slightly above the thickness of the bracket. Slide the bracket on and tighten with a socket wrench.

The rubber bumper has a screw to fasten the top half together. Loosen the screw and slide the hose until you have enough tail to grab it from floor level with the bumper against the reel. Then tighten the screw on the bumper. This will give you whatever tail length you need. You will shorten the 26 ft reach of the reel by the length of the ceiling height. So unless you leave the bumper as is and add an extension hose to whatever length you can grab from the floor, you'll shorten the reach if you move the bumper.

Hope this helps!

Yes, you can mount it to the wall or the ceiling.

Yes, this hose reel will lock into position at the desired hose length.

Yes, the hose pulls out and locks

Read the instructions. You pull out to the length you want. The ratchet will engage after the first 2 or 3 clicks. To release pull the hose out and let the spring wind it back into the reel.

Someone else mentioned that they let the hose wind evenly on the reel as it winds back in. This keeps the hose from kinking and all balling up at one spot.

It's like a retractable cord on a vacuum cleaner but in this case you can peek inside the reel and see the hose winding on it.

Yes, it has a ratchet and stops.

Yes! It has a great ratchet mechanism that gives maybe 5-7 indents per reel revolution, so you can stop it at pretty much any point without it retracting. A quick pull releases the ratchet when you want it to recoil.

You may use this in cold weather, the hose will not be as pliable in the extremely cold weather.

Yes, works fine in cold weather.

I can't swear to it, but the hose is VERY flexible. Last winter it got down to 15 degrees here (I know I know, but in Texas that's cold!) and it was still as flexible as it was in the Summer. I hope that helps.

The warranty on the unit is 12 months limited parts/no labor. Return/exchange under warranty against defects.

Yes, this product will work with the items that you have listed, however with a 1/4" diameter hose your impact may not provide full power.
