This kit increases the capacity of any post-2009 ELEY standard capacity garden hose reel from 125 feet of 5/8-inch hose up to 200 feet.
IMPORTANT: Was your reel purchased before April 2023?
If your hose reel was purchased before April 2023, it has a threaded axle. This kit comes with our latest "threadless" axle, which accommodates our latest "clamp-on" swivel (item #4291). To upgrade your older hose reel with this Extra-Capacity Kit, you will also need to upgrade your reel with the 4291 swivel.
If your hose reel has a brass swivel that looks like any of those pictured here, you'll need to upgrade to the 4291 swivel.
All of the hose reels that used a threaded axle had serial numbers within the range listed below. If your reel's serial number falls within this range, you'll need to upgrade to the 4291 swivel.
- Wall-Mount Reels: Serial #s 100001 to 655394
- Free-Standing Reels: Serial #s 200001 to 243062
- Cart Reels: Serial #s 300002 to 390716
Increase the Capacity of Your ELEY Hose Reel
This kit is designed to be installed during initial hose reel assembly or can be retrofitted as an aftermarket upgrade to any already assembled ELEY standard capacity garden hose reel. It will increase the 5/8-inch ID capacity from 125 feet to 200 feet by widening the reel's center drum by an additional 4 inches. The 3/4-inch ID capacity increases from 100 to 170 feet. Highly detailed print instructions and step-by-step videos are available to make installation as quick and easy as possible.
Commercial-Duty Construction
The extra-capacity kit includes an aluminum-alloy spacer coated with a Spartan-bronze powder coat finish to match the reel. The longer anodized aluminum axle allows for the expansion of the reel, and the three stainless-steel screws securing the unit.
The only tool required for installation is the 8mm x 5mm hex key wrench included with this kit. Backed by our industry-leading 10-year warranty. This kit is only compatible with all ELEY® model reels purchased from 2009 to the present.
