Retractable 1/4" Inch x 100 Feet container
I picked up a 100ft 1/4 inch air hose a while back with the intention of just wrapping it around my Hulk compressor. It's gotten a little old and am looking for a spring loaded retractable reel. But I'm only able to find the reel and hose, not just a reel for the hose length...

Can anyone one point me to one?

thanx

100ft 1/4 inch
Sure about that size?

I installed a 50' 1/2" reel a couple years ago and it's kind of a pain to work with, the pressure drop of using a 3/8" line vs the bulk of the 1/2" line is probably not worth it!

I have never heard of 1/4" lines!

You might contact Reelcraft and see if they can adapt one of their Reelcraft 81000's to use your 1/4" hose. But for that kind of money I'd be getting a manual reel.

You could cut the hose in half. No real need to have 100' on a retractable reel.

Friend recommended this one.. It's not retractable but will fit a 100ft. But it's a 3/8.... Would I have any issues with a step down connector between the two? My gut says no.... But thought I'd ask the question..

I wouldn't think there would be an issue with installing a 3/8" to 1/4" reducer where the hose connects to the reel.
