Dramm - Heavy Duty Hose Guide

Brand: Dramm

Heavy Duty Hose Guide

A galvanized steel stake with a free-turning nylon roller on top, driven in at the corner of an aisle or the end of a bench so a dragged hose rides against the roller instead of cutting the corner through the crop. The 6 in roller is tall enough that the hose will not ride over it and turns freely so it will not catch, which takes real effort out of a long pull. This is the commercial steel guide, not Dramm's consumer two-piece plastic hose spike, which is a different product entirely.

One model, supplied as a factory case of 6. Dramm builds no short or tall version and no alternative roller, so the only planning decision is how many you need and where they go: the corners the hose habitually cuts, the ends of benches, and the pinch points where an operator has to stop and free the line. Count those positions in the house before ordering, since the guide is bought by the case rather than singly.

Specifications

Key Features

• Galvanized steel frame and 12 in stake stay put under a hard pull rather than bending or lifting out
• 6 in roller is tall enough that the hose does not ride over the top and pop the guide out
• Roller turns freely, so the hose slides instead of catching and dragging the guide sideways
• Steel handle means it goes in and comes out by hand when a bench layout changes
• Galvanized, so it lives in the house year round without rusting
• Works for spray hose as well as watering hose - Dramm lists it under both

Ideal Applications

• Protecting crops at aisle corners where hose is dragged across the bed
• Bench ends and pinch points on long hose pulls
• Reducing the pulling effort on 100 ft and longer runs
• Spray hose runs on Hydra and MSO type machines
• Keeping hose out of walkways and off the floor edge

Works with Dramm's heavy duty hose reel and its five point pivot bracket, and with ColorStorm hose and BlueFlex spray hose.
