How to Choose a Commercial Kitchen Hose Reel

A commercial kitchen hose reel keeps a long hose off the floor and within reach, so staff can wash down equipment and floors quickly during a busy shift. Before you buy one, here is what to check.

What to look for in a commercial kitchen hose reel

• Hose length: a longer hose covers a bigger kitchen without moving the reel. A 16 metre (50 ft) hose reaches most work areas from a single wall point.
• Pressure rating: kitchens use hot, high-pressure water for cleaning, so check the hose rating. Some heavy-duty hoses are rated up to 2500 PSI.
• Body material and finish: a powder-coated or epoxy-coated steel body resists corrosion, moisture, and cleaning chemicals.
• Wall mounting: a wall-mount reel stays near the water source and keeps floors clear, which also helps with safety.
• Spray valve and accessories: check whether the spray valve is included. It is often sold separately.

Where a commercial kitchen hose reel is used

These reels are common in restaurants, hotels, and food-service kitchens, and also in food processing plants, industrial washdown areas, and healthcare facilities where hygiene standards are strict.

It is suited to commercial kitchens, restaurants, and hotels and comes from the Aluids Platinum Series. The spray valve is not included, so you can pair it with an extended spray wand unit.
