Wall-Mount Hose Reel Specifications & Dimensions
This One Hose Reel Model Offers Two Directional Mounting Options
IMPORTANT. The configuration option on the product page simply shows the appearance difference between the parallel and perpendicular assemblies. Regardless of which configuration you order, you'll receive the SAME model, and the innovative ELEY-original design allows you to assemble the reel into EITHER configuration.
Wall Plate Attachment in Parallel Configuration
Assembled in the parallel configuration, the wall plate can be mounted in any position relative to the wall, including horizontal, vertical, or at a 45° angle. Because the reel is spinning and the hose is being pulled off alongside the wall, it doesn't matter what angle or direction the wall plate is attached to the wall. See diagram below for additional clarification.

Model-Specific Features
Standard ELEY Hose Reel Features
Rugged Aluminum Construction
Our advanced aluminum alloy delivers the ideal combination of lightweight performance, superior strength, and corrosion resistance. Engineered with key elements like iron, copper, magnesium, silicon, and zinc, it’s significantly stronger and more durable than pure aluminum.
Durable Powder-Coat Finish
Our premium powder-coated finish is cured at 400°F to create a hard, smooth surface that resists fading, cracking, and peeling. The versatile Spartan Bronze color complements nearly any exterior, including siding, brick, stucco, stone, and wood.
Freeze-Resistant Brass Swivel
Delivering full 3/4-inch flow capacity, this “no-kink” elbow design features smooth-spinning ball bearings and reliable freeze resistance. Built from lead-free brass, it’s engineered for long-lasting, dependable performance.
Polyurethane Inlet Hose
Included with every wall-mount hose reel, the durable 6-1/2 foot x 5/8-inch ID full-flow feeder hose features an inner tube and outer cover made from ultra-strong, kink-resistant polyurethane. Designed for flexibility and long-term performance, this inlet hose ensures consistent water flow and reliable operation.
Smooth-Spin Axle Bushings
Made from an ultra-durable material, ELEY axle bushings keep your reel spinning smoothly for years with no drag or binding. They also never need oil, grease, or any other lubricant.
Ergonomic Crank Handle
This teardrop-shaped, full-palm grip crank handle spins freely on a solid aluminum shaft and is made from an extreme-duty, high-impact material. Positioned near the outer edge of the reel’s flange, it provides greater leverage for faster, easier rewinding.
Stainless-Steel Fastners
No ELEY hose reel component will rust or break down over time, including the hardware used to assemble the reel. Made from high-grade stainless steel, our bolts, screws, and nuts provide years of corrosion-free performance.
Cam-Lever Brake
Easily turn the brake OFF & ON with one finger. Adjust braking strength to prevent unwanted hose rollout after you stop pulling from the reel. Flip the lever to OFF for smooth, free-spin rewinding.
Hose Strap Attachment
By securing the hose to the reel’s drum, this durable, canvas hose strap prevents damage to the hose fitting and the brass swivel when a fully extended hose is yanked on. The adjustable strap will secure any hose size up to 1” outside diameter.
10-Year No-Leak, No-Fail Guarantee & Warranty
How many products sold today will guarantee they'll perform just as reliably 10 years from now? ELEY makes that promise. The only reel brand to guarantee a full decade of rugged, reliable, no-leak, no-fail performance.

Frequently Asked Questions - Wall Mount Reel
These FAQs are specific to the wall mount, model 1041. For general FAQs about all ELEY® reels, visit our Garden Hose Reels FAQs.
What's the difference between Parallel and Perpendicular?
The ELEY wall-mount garden hose reel can be configured for EITHER parallel OR perpendicular. Assembled into the parallel configuration, the garden hose will pull off the reel alongside the wall, whereas the perpendicular configuration will pull the hose out straight away from the wall. You decide which configuration will work best for your application during assembly. The configuration you end up with depends on which of the two positions the reel's arm can be attached to the wall plate you choose.
What type of walls and surfaces can this reel be mounted?
Whether you want to install this wall mount garden hose reel to a masonry surface such as brick, cement, or cinder block or a wood frame surface such as siding, stucco, or Hardie Plank®, you'll find the answer to all of your questions in our How to Mount a Garden Hose Reel to a House article.
Is the wall-mount hose reel made with drinking water safe materials?
Yes. ELEY hose reels are manufactured using high-quality materials commonly used in applications involving drinking water contact. The water-contact components include a durable polyurethane inlet hose, with hose fittings and swivel components made from lead-free brass that comply with federal lead-free standards.
For more information, see Drinking Water Safe & Garden Hoses: What You Need to Know.
What is the size of the wall plate mounting hardware that comes with the reel?
The mounting hardware consists of four of each of the following:
- 1/4" x 2-1/2" Hex-Head, Stainless Steel Wood Lag Screws
- 5/16" x 1-3/4" Anchor Sleeves
How deep do the wood lag screws need to penetrate the studs (or board) for adequate anchoring?
To securely anchor the wall-mount hose reel to a wood frame structure, the lag screws should penetrate the wood by at least 1-inch. The following linked article gives a more detailed explanation.
Can this reel be mounted to a flatbed trailer or vehicle?
No. ELEY garden hose reels are not designed to be mounted to a trailer, pickup bed, or any other type of over-the-road vehicle. Doing so will void the warranty and could cause structural failure that could lead to damage, serious injury, or worse.
Does this reel pivot or rotate in different directions?
No. This model can be configured and mounted in a fixed parallel or perpendicular direction. The reel can also be reconfigured in either direction at any time by changing the orientation of the arm's attachment to the wall plate. However, the mounting direction is fixed and does not offer a rotating or pivoting action.
Does the sharp bend in the brass swivel restrict water flow?
The change in the shape of the garden hose swivel gooseneck does have a theoretical impact on water flow, but it is so minimal that our digital flow meter with a resolution of 0.01 gallons per minute (GPM) and our pressure drop gauges cannot detect it
Once mounted, can the orientation of the hose reel be changed from parallel to perpendicular or vice versa?
Yes, this can be accomplished by changing the orientation of how the arm & axle assembly is attached to the wall plate. To do so, the wall plate will need to be removed from the wall since the two bolts that attach the arm to it are accessed from the backside of the wall plate. For masonry surfaces that use anchor sleeves, you'll need to re-insert the bolts into the holes slowly and gently to get the threads restarted into the cone-shaped nut inside the anchor sleeve so as not to dislodge it or get the threads out of alignment. We've done this many times during photo shoots. We first take photos of the reel in the parallel position, remove the wall plate, reattach the arm, and remount the hose reel onto the brick wall to get pictures of the perpendicular configuration.
What are the dimensions of the wall plate and mounting holes?
I have a question regarding the mounting and installation of this model.
Follow this link for more assembly and installation FAQs, downloadable PDF instruction manuals, and step-by-step assembly demonstration videos. Assembly Instructions - Wall Mount Hose Reels
Is assembly required?
Yes, however, don't let that scare you away. Quick and easy assembly was one of our R&D team's primary objectives when designing the durable ELEY hose reels. We provide an excellent assembly manual with the hose reel and full step-by-step video demonstrations of the assembly and installation on this website. Please visit our Assembly Instructions - Wall Mount Hose Reel page if you'd like to preview the manual and video.
Can the reel be removed from the wall for the winter without removing the wall plate?
Yes, the wall-mounted hose reel can be removed from the axle/wall plate without removing the mounting bracket. Please see the steps below.
1. Disconnect your hose from the brass swivel. (You will leave your hose on the reel for storage.)
2. Unthread the brass swivel from the axle of the reel by loosening the silver retaining nut from the axle by turning it counterclockwise.
3. Pull the swivel and about 6" of hose out the front side of the reel
4. Unthread the brass swivel from the inlet hose.
5. Slide the cam-lever brake off the axle.
6. Slide the hose reel off the axle and take it to your designated space for winter storage along with the swivel, brake, and inlet hose assembly.
I don't see my question in this list.

Reviews
Once and done!
"I bought two extra-capacity wall mounted hose reels in 2015 for my previous house. After 11 years,when I sold the house, still no issues with the hose reels. Just bought a new (to me) house this year. Previous owner had left a brittle plastic hose reel that immediately went to the trash. I dont plan to be wasting time replacing them. . . . so just bought 2 new standard capacity wall mounted hose reels from Eley. . . . I prefer once and done!"
First class product
"My research for a new wall mounted hose reel landed on Eley and I could not be more pleased! Exceptional quality, thoughtful design and intuitive operation. I wanted a “buy it for life” item and I feel I got it!"
We have three wall-mounted hose
"We have three wall-mounted hose reels. All work perfectly and installed easily. The sleeve anchors provided with the kit work as they should for masonry and concrete. They are very sturdy and could handle much more weight than you could put on them. Two of our reels have 100’ - 5/8” ID hoses. One has a 100’ - 3/4” ID hose. All hoses fit with room to spare. Will happily buy these reels again when necessary. Tremendous product."
A tank
"As someone who has owned the cheap stuff. I could tell the quality right at the point of unpacking. High quality design with attention to detail. All of the fittings I ordered with it screwed together like they were machined for space ship tolerances. The quick disconnects are a dream come true if you have ever bought, then thrown away after one season, other brands from the big box stores."
This reel is attractive and well designed, love it!
"Beautiful, quality fixture which sits nicely near my garage door on a trellis post which is very visible to everyone visiting. It works beautifully and came with good instructions on how to install. Has a nifty brake so it needs to be released before using which i think it a useful feature. Love these products!"
Eley Hose and Reel
"Superior engineering and workmanship. Though the Eley hose reel, 5/8” hose, and quick disconnect fittings cost significantly more than big-box store “equivalents”, I considered this purchase a true bargain because it is that much better than their competitors. Buying a well-designed product that exceeds my expectations is a treat; buying lesser products means that you will have to replace them several times during the normal lifecycle of an Eley product."
Mighty on the Mississippi
"I purchased this wall mount reel and hose for my new home alongside the bank of the Mississippi River. The reel is sturdy, well made and works perfectly, and the hose - it’s the best I’ve ever owned."
Best Hose Reel Out There
"This is our second Eley Hose Reel. The first one is over 4 years old and still spins smoothly with no leaks anywhere. I would highly recommend this product"
Built like a TANK
"The quality of the hose reel is fantastic. It arrives packaged in a fitted box. Everything is organized and well protected. The assembly is easy and the install is straightforward. The reel spins effortlessly. I started with on Eley reel on the front of the house. This one is my second reel. I also invested in 2 100’ Eley hoses. Yes, it’s an investment, but one you will be glad you made. Trust me, it’s worth it."
Quality hose reel
"Initial impressions overall positive. The good: excellent packaging, simple enough assembly, seems to be a good quality hose reel but time will tell. The bad: finding studs was a challenge. The unacceptable: the 4 supplied 2 1/2” lag screws were nowhere near long enough when attaching the reel assembly over siding, insulation and OSB with the supplied spacers. Had to take an unexpected trip to the hardware store to get 4” long screws. For the cost of this reel, it really should have additional lag screws of different lengths. Total time, including locating studs and hardware store run: 3 hours."
