Water Hose Reel

Our ReelCraft 5835-OLBSW23 was some ugly. The hose is a gummy disaster, the stop doughnut is not reusable, plus there is rust at the base. It also needs to have its latch and tension adjusted as it stop and retract do not function reliably.

                                                              

Same P/N but different parts

The part number for a new hose, should you want to stay OEM, is 600326, they are in the $140 range (for a 25’ hose!). I called ReelCraft and inquired about the specific part number, and it gets complicated. Although our reel P/N ( 5835-OLBSW23 ) is current, our revision of that reel is obsolete. The newer version of 5835-OLBSW23 that works with hose 600326 is different. The one in our coach used a threaded connection from hose to reel and the new one uses a pushlock.

There was/is an update kit to convert from the previous threaded connection to the new style pushlock but that is even more expensive than the $140 hose! You will be in this for well over $300 to replace the hose and keep it OEM (IF you can get the parts)

A new complete reel and hose assembly can be found for ~$750, its $914 at Grainger. Doing a search on the Grainger P/N 4NB26, instead of the Reelcraft number, we found a freight liquidator that had a new one for basically the price of the hose, inc shipping. It arrived in the original Grainger box, newly mfg in June, no damage found anywhere. It installed easily in a nice clean bay.
