General Pump 3/8" x 100' Steel Hose Reel - D30002

Mk427: The media could not be loaded.  I needed a new real for one of my machines because the previous reel kept leaking and finding the exact parts needed to fix it were really difficult. I wish I would’ve ordered it sooner. Might get another for a different machine because it worked so well. I was worried about all the hose fitting on the reel because it looks smaller and has a shorter profile but it can actually hold more now than before and it being shorter really helps get it in the back of my small van.

Bob TeafordBob Teaford: I bought this for a 50 foot hose for my electric AR Blue Clean pressure washer. I agree the instructions are close to non-existent but I watched videos and read all the reviews here. Most people put a loop of hose outside the reel, some added a 90 degree fitting to make that easier. I think the product is designed to be attached as I show in the photos. I turned the included already attached 90 degree fitting so it pointed toward the opening. That way a hose can be directly mounted to it, no awkward loop outside the reel with a tight bend in it needed.

I got this idea from the picture of the reel in the directions that showed this right angle fitting pointing toward the hole. One reviewer mentioned that it was 'glued', there was some solvent on the joint, it turned pretty easily with a large crescent wrench.

I decided to use my 4 foot feed hose to hook permanently to the 90 degree fitting and on the distal end of that put on a male 3/8 inch quick connect plug. Then I attached the 50 foot long hose to that with the quick connect female that was on the hose. I did this so that if I need to use the pressure washer away from the hose reel then the blue 50 foot hose...

robert: The quality of the hose reel is great and it mounts easily. The problem was figuring out the fittings needed to connect the reel to the hoses. Our hose is 1/4" with a 22mm - 14mm connection, this requires a 3/8" Male to 22mm male with a 14mm inside diameter. Two of these adapters are needed. One to connect the machine to the reel and one to connect the hose to the reel. These adapters are $8 each on Amazon. The other issue is that no short length supply hose is supplied or sold. The smallest hose I found is 20' It would be nice to have a 6' to 10' supply hose from the machine to the reel and not have to use a 20' hose. I had to do a good deal of research to get the parts to make it work. It is obvious this unit is designed for use by professionals but I think there is a huge DIY homeowner market for these reels that could be tapped with a little more information on the parts needed to make this work at home. The two adapters could be included with the purchase, or listed as an option. The Machine comes with female fittings to supply the reel and to connect the hose to the reel, yet all hoses are female that require a male outlet, the male to male adapters are a must.

SJBSJB: I bought this General Pump D30003 hose reel to mount on my Generac One-Wash Power washer. The item arrived very quickly and in good condition. The instructions are pretty much non-existent so I was wasn't sure how to connect the hose. My machine has a M22M connector at the pump for the hose to thread onto and my hose has the female M22M connectors at both ends. The elbow that came with the reel is a 3/8 male pipe thread by female 3/8 pipe thread. I forgot to order the pigtail hose that is needed to connect the pump to the inlet on the reel so I either had to order more parts or improvise. My solution was to buy two 1/4 in hose barb to 3/8 pipe thread and a couple of aircraft type hose clamps at the local hardware store. I cut a section of hose off of one end and attached one of the barbs. I then took the elbow that came with the reel and threaded it into the reel inlet. I then was able to thread the M22M connector on the hose onto the pump and the 3/8 pipe thread end of the barb into the elbow. I attached the second barb fitting into the remaining cut end of the hose and threaded it into the brass swivel on the reel outlet. There is a snap ring that retains the brass swivel...
