Got my reels today. The 12" black ones from pressure tek. I can’t figure out the best fitting to attach the hoses. I need to set up a whip line too. Help
You should be able to just unthread your QC fittings and thread them right in. Unless you have 3/8 inch hose and 1/2 npt. Then you can get a reducer bushing for $2.
As for garden hose threads they’re GHT not NPT. I’ll try to find the fittings and link them.
Ironically, I just took my two cox reels out of the box after they sat in the corner of the shop for 5 months.
On the bushing you probably want a high pressure reducer bushing I would imagine. This one is rated at 3000 psi
I can find both of these things at my local Menards, but not via their online search for some reason.
That’s what I thought I’d be able to do. Remove the fitting and the threaded section fits just inside of the 90 on the reel. Loosely. I guess it is is 1/2". Same size on whip swivel. Maybe I need a 1/2" male to 3/8" female
Should just need the bushing. Both ends of your hose should be male. Maybe I’m not tracking…
Yes. Both male with QC removed. I’ve gathered the 90 on the hose reel is 1/2" female. Guess the 1/2 male to 3/8 female is what’s needed. Ok. I ordered the reducer bushings on amazon. Have it Sunday. Thanks.
On many of these handmade Titan hosereels, use a 1/2" street 45 in steel for high pressure or brass for low presure or chemical on the outlet port of the reel before installing the reducing busing. It will help the hose lay flat instead of kink. If you are ever using these for garden hose reels, install 1/2" mpt by FEMALE GARDEN HOSE (NOn-SWIVEL) on the brass 1/2" street 90 instead of the reducing bushing. If you install a swivel, it will leak eventually.

I used stainless bushings and got it
Jamie (mostly) from All Carolina and Rick, the Racer, nudged me into this forum! Thank you for the welcome. I am happy to pay a distributors fee to be here.
I am glad you are liking the Slo Mo. Are you using 4-8 oz per 100 gallons for softwashing and less than 1 oz per 5 gallon bucket for downstreaming and XJetting?
