ABSTRACT:
A hose reel includes a housing or casing therefor, providing for the concealed installation of the reel within the ground or within a basement or foundation crawl space. A hose access and control panel is also provided, with the panel and a cover therefor being the only components of the reel which are exposed to the elements. The reel may include automatic retraction using an elastic (i.e., bungee) cord, and may also include a remotely operated water flow and shutoff solenoid valve and manually or automatically switched electrical heating element. The reel assembly may be mounted on tracks within the housing, in order that the reel assembly may be removed for maintenance and repair as required. The concealed hose reel and housing serves to protect the hose thereon from damage or theft when not in use, and eliminates the need for any unsightly or inconvenient externally mounted hose rack or reel.
