Fire Hose Reels & Parts

Fire hose reels can be located at strategic points throughout public and commercial buildings, to provide easy access to a flow of water in the event of a fire. They can be highly useful before the arrival of the fire brigade, and in addition to their own hoses. Hose reels are essential in high rise buildings and large industrial complexes, where the fire service would have to set up multiple lengths of hose in order to get water to certain locations.

How many types of fire hose reel are there?

While there are two main types of fire hose reel – those that are fitted to the walls of buildings, and those that are fixed to fire engines as professional fire-fighting equipment – there are three types of reel design and two types of fire hose valve typically available. These are:

  • Fixed hose reel design
  • Swinging hose reel design
  • Recessed hose reel design
  • Automatic hose reel valve
  • Manual hose reels valve

A fixed hose reel, whether manual or automatic, is fixed to its wall bracket and only turns as the hose is run out. It should always have a roller or beaded hose guide to enable the hose to be pulled in any direction easily. A swinging hose reel will swing away from its mount on a bracket that contains the water inlet and will follow the direction it’s pulled in, making it even easier to use. We have fixed and swinging reels available in both automatic and manual options.

Recessed hose reels are essentially a swinging reel with an extra bend in the bracket, to allow them to be fixed within a recess so as not to impede on corridor or thoroughfare space.

Manual hose reels vs automatic hose reel valves 

Manual hose reels are like the one in your garden where you need to turn on the tap - or gate valve - before running out the hose. This lets the water into the system. This is helpful where frost may be a problem in exterior or exposed places to prevent pipe damage.

An automatic valve has the water permanently on but, when the reel is being run out, after about four turns, the automatic valve will have opened the water flow. This saves time and effort and is often preferred in emergencies. A simple twist of the hose reel nozzle will let the water flow from the hose.
