A small leak in an oxy or acetylene hose is a serious safety risk: oxygen accelerates combustion in any nearby ignition source, and acetylene is highly flammable in air. A hose reel keeps the hoses lifted, untangled, and inspected regularly during retract — extending hose life and reducing the chance of an undetected leak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHose specs that matter\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOxy-acetylene hose is purpose-built for the application — twin-hose construction with green for oxygen and red\/maroon for acetylene, BSP or similar threaded end fittings, working pressure rating well above the regulator output. Standard hose ID is 6mm or 8mm depending on the cutting torch flow rate. Length is determined by the reach the reel needs to cover — most workshop reels carry 10m-15m of twin hose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBrands stocked at AIMS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoxreel is the long-established US brand widely used in fleet and industrial work. Macnaught is the Australian-manufactured choice for workshop reels. Both supply twin-hose reels specifically built for oxy-acetylene service — the reels share components with their oil-hose product lines but use gas-rated hose and fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInspection and maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOxy-acetylene hose reels need periodic inspection — the spring tension drops over time, hose end fittings wear, and hoses themselves should be checked for damage at every retract. Replace hoses showing cracking, abrasion through the outer jacket, or any visible damage near fittings. The cost of a replacement hose set is trivial against the safety risk of running a damaged hose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMounting\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWall-mounted, ceiling-mounted, or column-mounted are the options. Ceiling-mounted suits multi-bay workshops where the same reel can serve adjacent bays. Wall-mounted suits single-bay setups where the gas cylinders are nearby.
