Eley
Garden Hose Reel Swivel Repair Kit
Best maintenance solution for owners of specific wall-mounted hose reels.
Restore your Eley hose reel's smooth operation with this Swivel Repair Kit, designed for models 4291 and 4290. This kit provides a straightforward solution to replace the expandable "frost" gasket, ensuring optimal performance of your reel's swivel mechanism. It includes a dual-head hex key tool and four replacement plugs for a complete repair. While the gasket offers some protection against accidental freezing, it does not guarantee complete freeze-proofing, and freeze damage is not covered by the warranty. Prolonged sun exposure may degrade the gasket over time.

Know before you buy
This kit is specifically designed for Eley hose reel models 4291 and 4290.
The expandable frost gasket is designed to provide some protection against accidental freezing. However, it does not guarantee complete freeze-proofing, and any freeze damage remains outside of the product warranty.
No, the kit includes a dual-head hex key tool, which is all you need to complete the repair process.
The lifespan of the gasket depends on usage and environmental factors. Please note that the material is not UV-resistant, so prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause the gasket to degrade faster over time.
The kit contains one replacement expandable gasket, four replacement plugs, and a dual-head hex key tool.
