Wall or Ceiling Mount.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PP housing reel is the lighter-weight alternative to the all-steel reel — the polypropylene shell resists tension and impact while keeping the unit lighter than a metal-drum reel, making it well-suited for wall and ceiling installations where total mount weight matters. The 180° swivel bracket rotates to direct the hose toward the work area without binding at the drum entry. The stop-anywhere lock holds the hose at any extension length without tension on the spring. The high-grid hose construction resists leaks at the braid layer and resists crushing if the hose gets pinched under equipment. Auto-rewind spring returns the hose to the drum on a single tug.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- VIDEO: Embed PP housing air hose reel overview\/demo video here when available — \"See it in action\" framing --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eReel \u0026amp; Hose Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c!-- EVIDENCE IMAGE: Macro close-up of PP housing shell surface, 180° swivel bracket mechanism, and high-grid hose braid construction — place near H3 --\u003e\n\u003c!-- Alt text: \"Giraffe Tools PP housing air hose reel polypropylene shell, 180-degree swivel bracket, and high-grid hose braid close-up\" --\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e AWA15US\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShell Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polypropylene (PP) — tension and impact resistant; lighter than metal-drum reels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHose:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/8in × 50ft high-grid construction — leak-resistant at braid layer, crush-resistant under compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRetraction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Auto-rewind spring with stop-anywhere lock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwivel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 180° bracket rotation — wall or ceiling mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e ~13.4 lbs (6.1 kg)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Giraffe Tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maximum PSI rating, NPT fitting size, hose inner diameter, and leader hose length — confirm with Giraffe Tools spec sheet; not available in current product documentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePP Housing vs. All-Steel Reel — Choosing the Right Construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePP Housing (this model, AWA15US):\u003c\/strong\u003e Polypropylene shell, lighter weight (~13.4 lbs), wall\/ceiling mount only.
