  • air hose reel install

    Just got finished with the air hose reel install. Getting ready for the compressor to show up any day now. Any questions just ask. Oh and please excuse the nails hanging though the sheet rock, the people who hung the rock left it hanging half an inch below the board it was nailed to. I pushed it up flush and screwed it down and the nails came through.

      The hole was cut between 2 of the joist and the reel is lag bolted directly to one of the joist. I used primed MDF to build a box around it and trim it out. I painted it before I hung the reel. Pretty easy install overall.

          Does it come down easy? I have to mess with the catch and spring on mine once in a while.

                  I don't care if you do I was just wondering why you would. The compressor is going in the corner of the garage, it is too big and too heavy to try and get into the attic. It is a stand up style so it will not eat much floorspace. I am going to plumb a line in the wall and up into the attic where it will attach to the hose reel. I still have to add a circuit for this as well. I have all the stuff to do it I just have not had time yet.

                      That's pretty impressive, I don't think I would've ever thought to recess it in the ceiling like that. Very nice!

                      If My people, which are called by My name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

                        The ceiling is low enough as it is and I did not want it on the wall so I came up with that. Only about 1/3 of the whole thing sticks out. It was pretty cheap for the install, I would say I have about $30 in material total + the cost of the hose reel.

                          Looks good. I mounted my electrical reel in the attic and only passed the outlet through and made a cover plate for the hole.
