Air hose reel question.

[sgrammel]

Ok kinda a dumb question..Just bought this hose reel from HF

For the hose input on the side..do I need to use a swivel or 90 fitting of some sort or just screw the hose into the threaded fitting?

I dont have that one, but I would think that it has a swivel built into it. If not you my need to put an air ****** in the reel, and a coupler on the hose. Also if the hose on the reel splits you can quick disconnect the reel and stop the whipping hose quickly.

You can just screw it in if you want, be careful though, could burst into flames.

Never seen one with a swivel. Which makes no sense to me... it's already got one swivel, and you kinda need another, so why not make it swivel?

I use a whip hose with a swivel on mine. Or just put a ****** on the reel and a coupler on a short hose.
