Draper Retractable Air Hose Reel, 30m

A Safer, Tidier Way to Manage Compressed Air

The Draper RAH30 is a wall- or ceiling-mounted retractable air hose reel designed to keep your workshop or garage tidy, safe, and ready to work. Supplied with a generous 30 metres of 3/8" PVC hybrid air hose, this reel gives you long reach when you need it and tucks neatly away when you don't — no more coiling hoses by hand, no more trip hazards across the workshop floor.

3/8" PVC Hybrid Hose for Year-Round Flexibility

The reel is fitted with a 3/8" PVC hybrid air hose measuring 8 x 12mm, engineered to stay flexible even in cold conditions where standard PVC hoses can stiffen and become awkward to handle. With a maximum working pressure of 18 bar and a burst pressure of 54 bar (261/783psi), the hose is built to handle the demands of typical workshop and garage compressed air systems. The operating temperature range of -5°C to 45°C makes it well-suited to unheated workshops and outbuildings.

Safer Retraction with Slow Return

A standout safety feature of the RAH30 is its slow return mechanism. Instead of snapping back uncontrollably — a common hazard with cheaper hose reels — the hose retracts in a controlled, gradual motion, dramatically reducing the risk of hose lash, knocked tools, or injury to nearby users. This makes the RAH30 especially well-suited to busy workshops where multiple people may be working in proximity.

Stops in Any Position for Working Comfort

The hose can be locked in any position along its length, so you only pull out as much as you need for the task in hand. This keeps the working area tidy, reduces drag on the tool, and makes the reel comfortable to use for extended periods. When you're finished, a gentle tug releases the lock and the slow return mechanism takes care of the rest.

180° Swivel Mounting Bracket

The reel is supplied with a 180° swivel mounting bracket suitable for ceiling or wall installation. The swivel action lets the reel pivot to follow you around the workspace, so the hose always feeds out at a natural angle — reducing kinking, wear, and unnecessary strain on the hose. Mounted overhead, it keeps the hose well clear of the floor.

Internal Rewind Guide Prevents Tangling

Inside the housing, an internal rewind guide ensures the hose winds back evenly and consistently every time. This prevents the bunching and tangling that can shorten the life of a hose reel and cause frustrating jams mid-job.

Ideal Applications

The Draper RAH30 is a smart upgrade for any workshop, garage, or unit running compressed air on a regular basis. It's well-suited to vehicle workshops where mechanics need to reach multiple bays from a central air supply, busy DIY garages, tyre fitters, joinery and finishing workshops, and any setting where loose hoses on the floor would create a trip hazard or get in the way of work. The 30-metre reach gives genuine flexibility around larger workspaces without the need to reposition the compressor.

Backed by the trusted Draper Tools name, the RAH30 combines a long, flexible hybrid hose, controlled slow return, and tidy overhead mounting in one practical package — a real quality-of-life upgrade for any compressed air setup.
