T&S Brass stands out in the market with its advanced hose reel technology. Known for enhancing durability, usability and overall performance, T&S hose reels feature heavy-duty construction, protected hose outlets, adjustable arms and anti-lockout ratchet designs.  

Why choose T&S hose reels? 

Hose reels help maintain a clean, well-kept area by eliminating clutter and organizing equipment. Advanced hose reel systems eliminate the hassle of manually winding a hose or dealing with mops and buckets, while also reducing the risk of employees tripping over unwound hoses. 

Let’s explore why T&S hose reel systems are one of your kitchen’s best assets.  

Durable construction  

Built for heavy-duty use, these hose reels feature 3/16″ thick drum supports, bases, and arms with indentation and rolled edges for added strength. With no trap points, the unit is less likely to rust over time. 

Protected hose outlet 

Advanced hose reels include extra protection around the hose outlet, facilitating free movement in any direction and extending the hose jacket’s life. Most feature a 6-roller hose outlet for 360º mobility. 

Mounting base 

These hose reels have a functional mounting base with extra holes and slots for simplified installations, allowing a single individual to install them easily. The base also matches existing patterns for quick retrofits. 

Adjustable arm  

Guide arms with up to eight positions and various hose lengths (15′, 30′, 35′, and 50′) offer maximum flexibility. 

Smart number key 

T&S offers a simplified hose reel selection with a step-by-step numbering system making it easy to configure reels according to needs and preferences. 

Tailoring hose reel solutions for your needs 

When it comes to selecting the right hose reel, several factors need consideration to ensure it meets specific needs and environmental requirements.  

Open or closed? 

First, the choice between an open or closed design is important. Open reels offer visibility and easy access for maintenance tasks, while closed reels provide a sleek, clutter-free appearance, contributing to a more organized workspace. 

Hose reel coating 

The type of coating on the hose reel matters, especially in harsh environments. Stainless steel is renowned for its durability and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for challenging conditions. Alternatively, epoxy-coated steel offers robust protection at a more cost-effective price point. 

Size options 

Choosing the right hose length and diameter depends on factors like the area’s size and proximity to water sources. Hose diameters typically range from 3/8″ to 3/4″, catering to different applications and water volume needs. 

Outlets 

Whether opting for spray valves, water guns or spray wands, selecting the right outlet device enhances cleaning efficiency and operator comfort. When choosing an outlet device, keep in mind the size of the item or area to be washed, as well as how the operator might hold the device while in use. Considering the easiest position ahead of time will allow for maximum comfort and efficiency later. 

Installation 

Installation options contribute to functionality and space utilization. Mounting brackets, including swing brackets and pivot brackets, offer flexibility in positioning, while hose reel cabinets provide a streamlined and aesthetically pleasing installation solution, minimizing clutter and enhancing overall workplace aesthetics.
