Front Flange, ELEY
Current Front Flange
This is the current front flange design and includes a pre-installed axle bushing. It replaces the front flange used on all earlier reel editions (1st–3rd editions).
Important: This front flange will not connect to an older back flange. If you are upgrading a 3rd-edition or earlier reel, you must also order the item 4148 Back Flange.
Will It Fit My Reel?
This front flange was introduced in May 2017. Use the table below to confirm that it is compatible with your reel.
| Reel model | Compatible serial numbers |
|---|---|
| 1041 Wall-Mount | 100001 or higher |
| 1042 Free-Standing | 200001 or higher |

Do I Need a New Hose Strap?
| Reel edition | Hose strap requirement |
|---|---|
| 1st–3rd edition | You must order the Item 4114 Hose Strap Assembly. The original hose strap or clamp will not work with this front flange. |
| 4th–6th edition | You may reuse the hose strap from your original reel. Order Item 4114 only if your existing strap is broken, missing, or otherwise unusable. |
