Wall-Mount Hose Reel Specifications & Dimensions
This One Hose Reel Model Offers Two Directional Mounting Options
IMPORTANT. The configuration option on the product page simply shows the appearance difference between the parallel and perpendicular assemblies. Regardless of which configuration you order, you'll receive the SAME model, and the innovative ELEY-original design allows you to assemble the reel into EITHER configuration.
Wall Plate Attachment in Parallel Configuration
Assembled in the parallel configuration, the wall plate can be mounted in any position relative to the wall, including horizontal, vertical, or at a 45° angle. Because the reel is spinning and the hose is being pulled off alongside the wall, it doesn't matter what angle or direction the wall plate is attached to the wall. See diagram below for additional clarification.

Model-Specific Features
Standard ELEY Hose Reel Features
Rugged Aluminum Construction
Our advanced aluminum alloy delivers the ideal combination of lightweight performance, superior strength, and corrosion resistance. Engineered with key elements like iron, copper, magnesium, silicon, and zinc, it’s significantly stronger and more durable than pure aluminum.
Durable Powder-Coat Finish
Our premium powder-coated finish is cured at 400°F to create a hard, smooth surface that resists fading, cracking, and peeling. The versatile Spartan Bronze color complements nearly any exterior, including siding, brick, stucco, stone, and wood.
Freeze-Resistant Brass Swivel
Delivering full 3/4-inch flow capacity, this “no-kink” elbow design features smooth-spinning ball bearings and reliable freeze resistance. Built from lead-free brass, it’s engineered for long-lasting, dependable performance.
Polyurethane Inlet Hose
Included with every wall-mount hose reel, the durable 6-1/2 foot x 5/8-inch ID full-flow feeder hose features an inner tube and outer cover made from ultra-strong, kink-resistant polyurethane. Designed for flexibility and long-term performance, this inlet hose ensures consistent water flow and reliable operation.
Smooth-Spin Axle Bushings
Made from an ultra-durable material, ELEY axle bushings keep your reel spinning smoothly for years with no drag or binding. They also never need oil, grease, or any other lubricant.
Ergonomic Crank Handle
This teardrop-shaped, full-palm grip crank handle spins freely on a solid aluminum shaft and is made from an extreme-duty, high-impact material. Positioned near the outer edge of the reel’s flange, it provides greater leverage for faster, easier rewinding.
Stainless-Steel Fastners
No ELEY hose reel component will rust or break down over time, including the hardware used to assemble the reel. Made from high-grade stainless steel, our bolts, screws, and nuts provide years of corrosion-free performance.
Cam-Lever Brake
Easily turn the brake OFF & ON with one finger. Adjust braking strength to prevent unwanted hose rollout after you stop pulling from the reel. Flip the lever to OFF for smooth, free-spin rewinding.
Hose Strap Attachment
By securing the hose to the reel’s drum, this durable, canvas hose strap prevents damage to the hose fitting and the brass swivel when a fully extended hose is yanked on. The adjustable strap will secure any hose size up to 1” outside diameter.
10-Year No-Leak, No-Fail Guarantee & Warranty
How many products sold today will guarantee they'll perform just as reliably 10 years from now? ELEY makes that promise. The only reel brand to guarantee a full decade of rugged, reliable, no-leak, no-fail performance.

Frequently Asked Questions - Wall Mount Reel
These FAQs are specific to the wall mount, model 1041. For general FAQs about all ELEY® reels, visit our Garden Hose Reels FAQs.
What's the difference between Parallel and Perpendicular?
The ELEY wall-mount garden hose reel can be configured for EITHER parallel OR perpendicular. Assembled into the parallel configuration, the garden hose will pull off the reel alongside the wall, whereas the perpendicular configuration will pull the hose out straight away from the wall. You decide which configuration will work best for your application during assembly. The configuration you end up with depends on which of the two positions the reel's arm can be attached to the wall plate you choose.
What type of walls and surfaces can this reel be mounted?
Whether you want to install this wall mount garden hose reel to a masonry surface such as brick, cement, or cinder block or a wood frame surface such as siding, stucco, or Hardie Plank®, you'll find the answer to all of your questions in our How to Mount a Garden Hose Reel to a House article.
Is the wall-mount hose reel made with drinking water safe materials?
Yes. ELEY hose reels are manufactured using high-quality materials commonly used in applications involving drinking water contact. The water-contact components include a durable polyurethane inlet hose, with hose fittings and swivel components made from lead-free brass that comply with federal lead-free standards.
For more information, see Drinking Water Safe & Garden Hoses: What You Need to Know.
What is the size of the wall plate mounting hardware that comes with the reel?
The mounting hardware consists of four of each of the following:
- 1/4" x 2-1/2" Hex-Head, Stainless Steel Wood Lag Screws
- 5/16" x 1-3/4" Anchor Sleeves
How deep do the wood lag screws need to penetrate the studs (or board) for adequate anchoring?
To securely anchor the wall-mount hose reel to a wood frame structure, the lag screws should penetrate the wood by at least 1-inch. The following linked article gives a more detailed explanation.
Can this reel be mounted to a flatbed trailer or vehicle?
No. ELEY garden hose reels are not designed to be mounted to a trailer, pickup bed, or any other type of over-the-road vehicle. Doing so will void the warranty and could cause structural failure that could lead to damage, serious injury, or worse.
Does this reel pivot or rotate in different directions?
No. This model can be configured and mounted in a fixed parallel or perpendicular direction. The reel can also be reconfigured in either direction at any time by changing the orientation of the arm's attachment to the wall plate. However, the mounting direction is fixed and does not offer a rotating or pivoting action.
Does the sharp bend in the brass swivel restrict water flow?
The change in the shape of the garden hose swivel gooseneck does have a theoretical impact on water flow, but it is so minimal that our digital flow meter with a resolution of 0.01 gallons per minute (GPM) and our pressure drop gauges cannot detect it
Once mounted, can the orientation of the hose reel be changed from parallel to perpendicular or vice versa?
Yes, this can be accomplished by changing the orientation of how the arm & axle assembly is attached to the wall plate. To do so, the wall plate will need to be removed from the wall since the two bolts that attach the arm to it are accessed from the backside of the wall plate. For masonry surfaces that use anchor sleeves, you'll need to re-insert the bolts into the holes slowly and gently to get the threads restarted into the cone-shaped nut inside the anchor sleeve so as not to dislodge it or get the threads out of alignment. We've done this many times during photo shoots. We first take photos of the reel in the parallel position, remove the wall plate, reattach the arm, and remount the hose reel onto the brick wall to get pictures of the perpendicular configuration.
What are the dimensions of the wall plate and mounting holes?
I have a question regarding the mounting and installation of this model.
Follow this link for more assembly and installation FAQs, downloadable PDF instruction manuals, and step-by-step assembly demonstration videos. Assembly Instructions - Wall Mount Hose Reels
Is assembly required?
Yes, however, don't let that scare you away. Quick and easy assembly was one of our R&D team's primary objectives when designing the durable ELEY hose reels. We provide an excellent assembly manual with the hose reel and full step-by-step video demonstrations of the assembly and installation on this website. Please visit our Assembly Instructions - Wall Mount Hose Reel page if you'd like to preview the manual and video.
Can the reel be removed from the wall for the winter without removing the wall plate?
Yes, the wall-mounted hose reel can be removed from the axle/wall plate without removing the mounting bracket. Please see the steps below.
1. Disconnect your hose from the brass swivel. (You will leave your hose on the reel for storage.)
2. Unthread the brass swivel from the axle of the reel by loosening the silver retaining nut from the axle by turning it counterclockwise.
3. Pull the swivel and about 6" of hose out the front side of the reel
4. Unthread the brass swivel from the inlet hose.
5. Slide the cam-lever brake off the axle.
6. Slide the hose reel off the axle and take it to your designated space for winter storage along with the swivel, brake, and inlet hose assembly.
I don't see my question in this list.

Reviews
We have three wall-mounted hose
"We have three wall-mounted hose reels. All work perfectly and installed easily. The sleeve anchors provided with the kit work as they should for masonry and concrete. They are very sturdy and could handle much more weight than you could put on them. Two of our reels have 100’ - 5/8” ID hoses. One has a 100’ - 3/4” ID hose. All hoses fit with room to spare. Will happily buy these reels again when necessary. Tremendous product."
Quality hose reel
"Initial impressions overall positive. The good: excellent packaging, simple enough assembly, seems to be a good quality hose reel but time will tell. The bad: finding studs was a challenge. The unacceptable: the 4 supplied 2 1/2” lag screws were nowhere near long enough when attaching the reel assembly over siding, insulation and OSB with the supplied spacers. Had to take an unexpected trip to the hardware store to get 4” long screws. For the cost of this reel, it really should have additional lag screws of different lengths. Total time, including locating studs and hardware store run: 3 hours."
Superb product!
"Having bought and rebuilt multiple hose reels over the years, the Eley is exactly what I was looking for… one made from rustproof metals, thoughtfully engineered mechanisms and seals, and high quality manufacturing! Company pride shows through from the packaging, to the components, to the instructions, to the installed product, ending with a no nonsense 10 year no-leak, no-rust, no-break guarantee! My future hose reels will all be Eley."
Exceptional Quality Products
"We purchased a free standing hose reel & hose many years ago. . . probably 15 plus or minus. . . it is still as good as new. We now live at a different home and had a need for an additional hose and for this spot we got a wall mounted reel. Plus purchased 2 nozzles which work so incredibly smoothly. . . our guess is these will function as new for years to come. We're always willing pay more for top notch quality and these products are just that. Plus a non-kink hose that is truly non-kink, not like other brands that advertise no kinking but it still happens."
Great hose reel!
"Wow, what a great product. The construction and the finish of this reel is awesome. Everything is replaceable and carries a great warranty. Ordered the reel extender to add more hose. The hardware provided is great quality."
Look no more!!
"I got tired of the “plastic-y, self reel, hose winders” and they all failed, broke, or I took them out back and shot them! I liked this reel so much, I bought 2 more!! Only hose reel I would attach to my house. I use them all and they are perfect. Reel works smoothly, winds up perfect, and I don’t ever have to buy another one. Thank you!!"
Great hose reel
"Light weight strong. Like the friction adjustment pulling hose out so it does not unreel fast. Still wish hose connection. Got a 100ft hose and quick connections. High flow compare to competition is worth it. Would like reel to hose connection was more flush to not touch end of hose reel edge. Worth every penny and fast shipping."
Has the search ended?
"I was looking for a hose reel that my 92 yr old mother could handle and hold up under seasonal conditions (i. e. , winter freezes). The typical plastic reels get harder to operate as the hose load increases and they never last multiple winters, even when drained. This reel is rather pricey but is well made from quality materials. Mom is able to unspool and rewind with ease. We'll see how it holds up over the next winter season."
I can't believe how excited
"I can't believe how excited I've gotten about. . . a hose reel! It is incredible quality, built with solid materials, easy to install, has a great warranty, and was fairly priced. I was pleasantly surprised to find all the hardware I needed to fasten it to the brick wall of my house was included. As was the connector hose. I've found myself touting it to friends and family."
This well-designed and meticulously crafted
"This well-designed and meticulously crafted hose reel is a standout. I particularly appreciate its direct mounting on studs at 16 inches on center. The instructions were crystal clear, making assembly a breeze. It performs as advertised, with no leaks. The unique conical design simplifies reeling in the hose. I have high hopes that this will serve me well for years to come, free from any issues."
