BluBird AG-Lite 5/8 Inch x 100 Ft. Water Hose Reel Dual Arm Assembly

Description

Kinked washdown hoses waste maintenance hours, but the BluBird ALWRDA58100 Water Hose Reel controls expansive facility wash systems. A dual-arm steel frame guides 100ft of 5/8in high-flow water hose rated to 300 PSI. Water-filled 5/8in line carries massive weight, requiring deliberate hand guiding during mechanical spring retraction.

Solid 12-gauge cold-rolled steel forms the reinforced dual guide arms and an 8-1/2in by 10-1/2in base plate, yielding an unboxed tool weight of 55 lbs. The fluid path utilizes a solid brass swivel body with nitrile seals rated for 300 PSI water service from minus 50°F to 190°F. The 5/8in rubber line delivers 500 PSI burst resistance.

Key Features of BluBird ALWRDA58100

Commercial agricultural facilities and food processing plants buy BluBird ALWRDA58100 reels to maintain clean washdown areas. Plant engineers invest in this dual-arm unit for heavy continuous water flow that overwhelms smaller 3/8in washdown reels.

• Dual arm steel chassis supports both spool sides to eliminate arm flex during extreme side-angle hose pulls.
• Ultra-lightweight rubber hose provides extreme cold weather flexibility down to minus 50°F without cracking.
• Solid brass full-flow swivel delivers high GPM water volume with minimal friction pressure drop.
• Enclosed spring canister protects the tempered rewind spring during mechanical maintenance procedures.
• Multi-position locking ratchet mechanism secures line payout at selected work lengths without line creep.
• Four-way directional roller guide reduces jacket friction to extend hose operational life over abrasive edges.
• Corrosion-resistant powder coat paint protects steel stampings against wash bay moisture and sanitizing chemicals.
• Heavy-duty rubber hose stop bumper prevents line retraction past the guide arm rollers.

Hydraulic Flow Swivel Calibration Data

Continuous flow testing pumps 25 GPM at 300 PSI with zero pressure drops or swivel seal seepage. Spindle center runout holds within 0.005in TIR carrying 100ft of water-filled hose. Manual line payout requires 13 lbs initial pull, rising to 30 lbs at full 100ft travel. Latch engagement generates a crisp 66 dB audible click.

Wash Facility Usability Negative Filter

Do not connect this reel to high-pressure wash pumps exceeding 300 PSI working pressure. Mounting requires reinforced masonry walls or structural steel beams. Wash technicians wearing wet rubber boots and gloves maintain a secure grip on the 5/8in hose during line deployment.

• Apply silicone grease to the brass swivel O-rings every 250 operating hours.
• Check outer rubber hose cover for gouges or thread exposure every 30 days of use.
• Torque structural mounting bolts to 45 ft-lbs against concrete walls every 6 months.
