Product Description
The Dormont wall mounted wash down reel is a heavy-duty retractable hose reel designed for daily cleaning duties in commercial kitchens, food production areas, and similar washdown environments. It houses a 15-metre hose on a spring-loaded retraction mechanism, keeping the hose off the floor and out of the way when not in use.
In a working kitchen, a hose that trails across the floor is a slip hazard and a hygiene problem. The spring-loaded latch on this reel ensures the hose retracts fully after use, stowing neatly against the wall. The declutching arbour is a practical detail worth noting — it protects the return spring from damage if the hose is wound back the wrong way, which extends the working life of the mechanism considerably in environments where multiple staff members use the equipment.
The full-flow shaft and swivel design maintains water pressure throughout the hose length, so there is no noticeable pressure drop at the gun even when the hose is fully extended. The adjustable gun gives operators control over flow and direction for different cleaning tasks.
- Retractable 15m hose keeps floors clear and reduces trip hazards
- Full-flow swivel maintains pressure at full extension
- Declutching arbour protects spring from reverse-winding damage
- Spring-loaded latch ensures reliable, full hose retraction
- Wall-mounted installation keeps the unit clear of floor traffic
Wall mounting position should be chosen carefully — the unit needs to be accessible to the full cleaning area its hose must reach, and the wall fixing must be suitable for the surface type. At just over 2kg, the reel itself is light, but it should be fixed to a sound surface capable of taking the additional load of a full hose under tension.
This reel is well suited to mid-sized commercial kitchens, food prep areas, and utility rooms where a reliable, self-stowing washdown solution is needed. Sites with larger floor areas or very high-frequency cleaning demands may benefit from considering a longer-reach or more heavy-duty option.
If you are unsure whether the reach or mounting position will work for your specific layout, we are happy to talk it through before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- For a typical mid-sized commercial kitchen or food prep area, 15 metres is generally adequate when the reel is mounted centrally relative to the space it needs to serve. For larger floor areas or where the reel must be mounted in a corner or at one end of a long room, it is worth mapping the reach before committing to a mounting position.
- The unit itself weighs just over 2kg, but the wall fixing needs to account for the additional load of the hose under tension during use. It should be fixed to a solid masonry or stud wall using appropriate fixings for the surface type — a hollow partition or lightweight wall board is unlikely to be suitable without additional backing.
- The declutching arbour is a mechanism that disengages the return spring if the hose drum is wound in the wrong direction. In a busy kitchen where multiple staff use the same equipment, reverse winding is a common cause of spring failure on simpler reels — this feature prevents that damage and reduces the likelihood of the retraction mechanism failing prematurely.
