Coxreels V-100 Series product has been improved and is now offered with hose. With a redesigned fluid path, the V-100 Series features improved O-ring sealing for greater vacuum consistency and performance in addition to a new swivel retention system, which has strengthened the frame and prevents separation of the swivel under excessive lateral loading. Along with the redesign, another improvement is zinc plating of the swivel components for greater corrosion protection.

The new swivel design includes another important feature. Previously, the hose reel only accepted 1.5” inlet, but the new swivel allows for the connection of 2” hose on the inlet in addition to the 1.5” hose. This is done by sizing the inlet to fit 1.5” hose on the inside and 2” hose on the outside. This is important because retail shop vacuums come with 2” hose, not 1.5”, thereby making the product more accessible to home and light commercial applications. The outlet remains 1.5” for 1.5” slip hose cuffs.

The reels with hose are offered in two hose lengths but the reel itself remains unchanged. The hose lengths correspond to the HP rating of the vacuum used with the reel. For vacuums with 5 HP or less ratings, the 35’ model is recommended. For vacuums with greater than 5 HP ratings, the 50’ model is recommended.  The hose has a super flexible “crush-proof” smooth interior hose suitable for commercial cleaning applications and is equipped with standard 1.5” threaded hose cuffs.

Two men were rescued from the water near Day Island Sunday after their boat capsized and left them treading water for more than an hour, according to West Pierce Fire & Rescue. A passerby spotted one man in the water about 5 p.m. and helped him to a nearby dock, then called 911. Due to a language barrier, fire crews did not immediately know there was another man still in the water.
