Posted by Andrew Greess on Dec 21, 2019

Cox Hose Reels makes a great product that is used by many pest and landscape professionals.

Cox Reels are well built and designed for hard use.  


The Cox hose reel swivel on the input side of the hose reel is the part that takes the most abuse and is usually the part that requires maintenance first.


This blog post will share everything you need to know about Cox Hose Reel Swivels.

Cox Reel Swivels Suggestions:

1.  Do not hang any extra weight on swivel.  It will reduce swivel life.

2.  Be sure input hose to swivel has slack to allow swivel to rotate.  If swivel can't rotate, swivel life will be reduced.

3.  Inspect swivel regularly for leaks.  

4.  Rebuild swivel as soon as it starts to leak.  Leaks will get worse quickly.

5.  Keep an extra swivel rebuild kit on hand so you don't have to live with leaks.

Here is a video on how to replace the orings in your Cox Hose Reel Swivel:

The video starts at 6:24 which is where he shows how to replace the orings.  If you would like more information on swivels, watch the video from the beginning.

Cox makes a number of different types of hose reel swivels and hose reel swivel o-ring types.

Your swivel can usually be rebuilt a few times before the metal becomes too worn and needs to be replaced. 

Replace your swivel with the same model as was originally on your reel.  See list of all Cox Swivels below.

Cox Reels makes hose reel swivels out of 3 different materials.  The material type is reflected in the swivel part number.

For example:

426     SWIVEL,  3/4"NPT,  NITRILE
426-1  SWIVEL,  3/4"NPT,  VITON
426-2  SWIVEL,  3/4"NPT,  EPM/EPDM

For most pest control and landscape applications, we like the Viton orings.
