Metal Hose Reel for 100 m of 1/2" Hose YM3903
YM3903 is a hose reel in 1/2" with a metal build.
What YM3903 Is
YM3903 is a hose reel in 1/2" with a metal build. It stores up to 100 metres of 1/2 inch or 13 mm hose. It ships on colour box, 4 pieces per carton at 0.074 CBM. Capacity is rated against 1/2 inch or 13 mm hose, the same size the YIMAY connectors and menders are built for.
Key Benefits
- Metal body and trigger hold their shape and their aim better than an equivalent plastic build
- Capacity is stated against a specific hose size, up to 100 m of 1/2 inch or 13 mm hose, so the claim can be checked
- Published carton data, 4 pieces at 0.074 CBM, so landed cost can be calculated before you order
- Stated capacity given against a specific hose size 1/2 inch or 13 mm
What Goes Wrong Without It
- Hose left coiled on the ground because there is nowhere to put it
- Ranges with no credible premium step above the plastic tier
- Capacity claims that only hold if the hose is wound perfectly
- Plastic frames that crack at the axle after one season

- Hose size 1/2"
- Construction metal
- Storage capacity up to 100 m of 1/2 inch or 13 mm hose

How to Get the Best Out of YM3903
The four points end customers most often get wrong. Worth putting on the pack or in the listing copy.
Step 1
Wind the hose under light tension so the stated capacity is achievable
Step 2
Keep the first metre of hose free so the inlet is not strained
Step 3
Drain the hose before winter storage
Step 4
Check wheel and axle fixings at the start of each season
How YM3903 Differs From Its Siblings
These models share a body family. The difference is finish, size or feature, not fit, which is what lets them sit on the same wall at different price points.

YM3903 Questions Buyers Ask
How is YM3903 packed for shipping?

What hose size does YM3903 take?
1/2". It mates with the connectors, menders and tap adaptors in the same size across the YIMAY fitting range.
How much hose does YM3903 hold?
Up to 100 metres of 1/2 inch or 13 mm hose. A thicker hose will reduce that figure, so match the capacity to the hose you actually sell.
Is the hose included?
