Alemite 8078-M Severe Duty Hose Reel Air Water 50 Ft

Product Description

The ALEMITE 8078-M is a severe-duty hose reel designed for air and water service in demanding industrial and trade environments. Built with sealed bearings, it delivers reliable retraction and extended service life in high-cycle applications where standard-duty reels fall short. Weighing 61 pounds, this is a substantial, fixed-mount unit intended for professional installation. It accommodates up to 50 feet of hose, making it suitable for shop floors, service bays, and equipment yards where reach and durability are both required. Licensed mechanics, fleet technicians, and industrial maintenance crews are the primary installers of this class of reel.

The 8078-M is suited for residential and commercial service environments including automotive shops, HVAC service vehicles, plumbing supply rooms, and general industrial facilities. It handles both air and water supply lines, making it a dual-purpose mounting option where space or budget favors a single reel installation. The 50-foot capacity covers most bay-depth and service-truck applications without requiring an extension.

Key Features

• Severe-duty construction rated for high-demand air and water service
• Sealed bearings reduce maintenance intervals and protect against contamination
• 50-foot hose capacity for extended reach in shop and field applications
• Heavy-duty build at 61 pounds supports fixed wall or ceiling mounting
• Dual-service compatibility for both air and water lines

Compatibility

Designed as a severe-duty replacement or new-installation hose reel for air and water service lines in industrial, automotive, and trade service environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified mechanic or maintenance technician. Before mounting, shut off the air or water supply line at the source valve and depressurize the system completely. The unit requires solid structural anchorage to wall studs, ceiling joists, or a dedicated mounting bracket rated to support the reel weight plus hose and fluid load. Follow applicable OSHA and local facility codes for overhead or wall-mounted pressurized equipment.
