Why You'll Love the Coxreels 117-3-250 Hose Reel

Spec sheets don't wash buildings or clean equipment - results do. Here's what the 117-3-250 actually delivers on the job, day after day.

• Stay organized and tangle-free – Storing a full 250 feet of 3/8" hose on a single reel prevents kinks, trips, and wasted time dealing with loose hose piled on the ground or tangled in the truck bed. The Coxreels 117-3-250 is designed to keep long hoses neatly organized and easily accessible, so you spend your energy on the work, not on wrestling with hose.

• Faster setup and cleanup – The reel operates with a manual hand crank for hose deployment and retrieval, and the smooth crank action speeds up both pull-out and rewind at the beginning and end of every job. Less time winding means more time working - making this a great product for busy contractors.

• Built for high-pressure work – The hose reel operates at a maximum PSI of 4,000, which lines up perfectly with commercial pressure washer pumps and industrial cleaning systems. You won't have to compromise on pressure or hose quality to use this reel.

• Compact footprint, big capacity – Dimensions are 17" x 18.25" x 18", yet the hose capacity lets you pack 250 feet of 3/8" hose into tight spaces on skids, trailers, and shop walls. That's a lot of reach in a small place.

• Durable steel construction – The hose reel is constructed with a heavy-gauge, one-piece steel "U"-shaped frame that won't bend or warp under the weight of a full load of wet hose. The Coxreels 117-3-250 is made of heavy-duty steel, built for daily use in rugged environments.

• Flexible mounting options – Mount it on benches, walls, service truck beds, or overhead racks. The pre-drilled base makes it easy to fix the reel wherever it works best for your operation.

What Makes This Coxreels Hose Reel Different

Most low-cost hose reels are stamped from thin metal, built for light-duty garden use, and top out at a few hundred PSI. Try loading 250 feet of high-pressure hose onto one of those and you'll end up with a bent frame, a jammed drum, and a pile of hose on the floor. The Cox Reels 117-3-250, distributed by Barens, is a different animal entirely.

• Real 3/8" x 250' capacity at working pressure – The Coxreels 117-3-250 is designed to handle up to 250 feet of 3/8-inch inner diameter hose - and it does so while supporting working pressures up to 4,000 PSI. Cheaper reels often claim similar hose capacity but can't hold up under actual pressure washer service. This one can.

• Engineered for professional duty cycles – CNC-spun side discs with rolled edges, welded joints, and a robust hub are designed for contractors who crank this reel multiple times per day, week after week. Users report it remains functional after 4 years of use - that's the kind of durability that justifies a quality purchase.

• Smooth, controlled hand-crank action – The Coxreels 117-3-250 includes an adjustable tension brake to prevent free-wheeling, so hose doesn't unspool during transport or storage. The ergonomic crank handle and balanced drum make full-hose rewinds manageable, even when hose is wet and heavy.

• Trusted brand, pro distribution – Cox Reels has built a strong reputation in industrial hose management. Barens supplies this item specifically for pressure washer and cleaning professionals who need tools they can count on.

How the Coxreels 117-3-250 Works

This is a manual, non-spring-return reel with a straightforward hand-crank design. No motors, no springs - just solid mechanical simplicity that works every time.

Step 1 – Mount and Connect Your Reel

Choose your mounting location: wall, bench, service truck, trailer skid, or overhead rack. Use the pre-drilled base or side mounting holes to secure the reel to a solid surface with appropriate hardware - bolting into steel frames, studs, or structural members is ideal. The inlet connection is 1/2 NPT, and the reel features a 90° full-flow solid brass swivel inlet for easy maintenance and a reliable, leak-free seal. Connect your supply or pressure line here using compatible fittings.

Step 2 – Load the 3/8" Hose

Thread your 3/8" hose through the guide and attach it to the reel's drum fitting point. Using the hand crank, evenly spool up to 250 feet of hose onto the drum, keeping layers neat to avoid crossovers and binding. The reel can also hold 150 feet of 1/4 inch hose if your application calls for a smaller size. The open drum design accommodates typical 3/8" pressure washer hose jackets and fittings without pinching or abrasion.

Step 3 – Deploy, Work, and Rewind

Pull out the hose to the needed length - the drum stays stable while the hose pays out smoothly, and the adjustable tension brake keeps things controlled. During use, the reel keeps excess hose safely stored and off the ground, reducing trip hazards and abrasion damage. At the end of the job, guide the hose with one hand while turning the crank with the other, creating tight, even layers. The Coxreels 117-3-250 is suitable for various applications including pressure washing and agricultural spraying, so whatever your job, the workflow stays the same.

Using Your Coxreels 117-3-250 for Best Results

Getting the most out of your reel starts on day one. These practical tips will help you set up smart and keep your hose management running smoothly for years.

Choosing the Right Hose

Select a 3/8" high-pressure hose rated to at least 4,000 PSI to match the reel's capabilities. Look for hose jacket types that coil well on reels and resist abrasion - flexible, non-kinking jackets designed for daily rewinding are ideal. The Coxreels 117-3-250 fits 3/8'' x 250' hose, but match your overall length to your job types and pump output. Running the full 250 feet isn't always necessary, and shorter runs reduce pressure loss and make the reel a bit easier to crank.

Mounting and Setup Tips

Mount the reel at a comfortable crank height for the main operator to reduce strain and fatigue. Orient the reel so hose pays out in the direction of your typical work areas - rear of trailer, side of truck, or toward the wash bay. Use robust mounting hardware into steel frames, studs, or structural members. Thin sheet metal alone won't hold up under a full load of hose and the forces of cranking. Route the supply line to the reel in a way that avoids sharp bends, pinch points, and heat sources.

Daily Use and Care

Always rewind hose under light tension, guiding it with one hand to create even layers across the drum. This prevents crossovers and binding that make the next pull-out frustrating. Drain excess water from the hose before long-term storage to reduce weight and corrosion risk. Periodically inspect the reel for loose fasteners, worn fittings, and visible finish damage - especially in harsh environments where chemicals, road salts, or coastal air can accelerate wear.

Maintenance and Longevity

Minimal but consistent maintenance can keep the Coxreels 117-3-250 working for many seasons. Users report it remains functional after 4 years of use, and with good care, you can extend that lifespan even further.

Routine Checks

Check mounting bolts and crank hardware weekly or monthly, depending on how often you use the reel. Inspect the drum edges and side discs for sharp burrs or damage that could abrade hose jackets over time. The swivel and connection points should be checked periodically for seepage or leaks under pressure - the solid brass swivel is durable, but seals do wear with use.

Cleaning and Corrosion Protection

Rinse off chemical overspray, road salts, and mud from the reel after heavy-duty jobs, especially after winter or agricultural work. Dry the reel and, if needed, apply a light protective lubricant to exposed metal hardware to deter rust. Touch-up paint works well on chipped areas of the powder coat finish to maintain corrosion resistance and keep the reel looking good.

Storage Practices

Store the reel under cover when possible, especially in regions with heavy snow, ice, or prolonged sun exposure. If the reel lives outdoors permanently, periodic inspections become even more important. Relieve hose pressure and disconnect supply lines during extended downtime for safety and longevity - it's an easy step that protects both the reel and your hose.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to the most common questions customers ask about the Coxreels 117-3-250 hose reel.

Does the Coxreels 117-3-250 come with hose included?

No. The reel is sold as a bare hose reel unit - hose is not included. This lets you select and purchase the specific 3/8" x 250' high-pressure hose that matches your application, whether that's pressure washing, chemical spraying, or air/water lines.

Can this reel handle 4000 PSI pressure washer hose?

Yes. It operates at a maximum pressure of 4,000 PSI when paired with appropriate high-pressure hose and fittings. This is the standard working pressure for most commercial pressure washing setups, so you're covered.

Is it difficult to crank a full 250' of hose?

A full reel is naturally heavier - especially when hose is wet - but the balanced drum and ergonomic hand crank make rewinding manageable for most users. The adjustable tension brake helps control spool speed, and guiding the hose with one hand while cranking with the other keeps layers even and the effort consistent. It takes a bit of effort, but it works.

Can I mount this reel on my trailer or service truck?

Absolutely. The 117-3-250 is commonly installed on trailers, skids, and truck beds using the pre-drilled mounting base. Just make sure you secure it to a strong structural surface - steel framing or heavy cross members are ideal.

What types of hose can I use on this reel?

It's optimized for 3/8" high-pressure hose with an outer diameter of approximately 5/8". You can also use compatible air, water, or wash-down hoses of the same size within appropriate pressure ratings. The reel can hold 150 feet of 1/4 inch hose as well, if your setup calls for it.

Is any special maintenance required?

Not really. Routine bolt checks, occasional cleaning, and visual inspection for wear are usually sufficient, thanks to the heavy-duty steel construction and industrial powder coat finish. Check the brass swivel seals periodically, and touch up any finish damage to keep corrosion at bay.
