The Macnaught Retracta R3 is an industrial strength retractable compressed air hose reel, designed and manufactured in Australia. Built around a high impact polypropylene case and premium reinforced PVC hose, it is made for detailing studios, workshops and garages that need a permanent, tidy air supply rather than a hose coiled on the floor.
This reel is available in two hose configurations, both supplied with 20m of premium reinforced PVC air hose:
If your current setup already works well, match the size you are running now. If you are stepping up to more air hungry tools, the larger bore is the safer choice.
The hose outlet fitting differs between the two options: 1/4" BSP on the 3/8" reel and 3/8" BSP on the 1/2" reel. These are the standard fittings most commonly used with pneumatic tools and hoses at each size. Select your required hose size from the variant selector above.

Fixing hardware is not included. Fittings, couplers and air tools are not included.
The R3 mounts on a 180° galvanised steel swivel bracket, allowing the reel to rotate and feed hose toward your work area rather than dragging it sideways. It can be mounted to a wall, ceiling or bench, provided the surface is structurally sound.
Fixing hardware is not supplied, because the correct fasteners depend entirely on what you are mounting to. Timber stud, steel, masonry and plasterboard all require different fixings. If you are unsure, have the installation carried out by a qualified tradesperson. Refer to the Macnaught instruction manual before installation and first use.
A fixed reel keeps your air hose organised and off the floor, which removes the loose hose that otherwise gets dragged across paintwork, walked on and tangled. Air is available the moment you need it, and retracts out of the way when you are finished, giving a cleaner, safer and more permanent workshop setup.
The R3 is built from high impact polypropylene with a galvanised steel mounting bracket and a wear resistant ProGlide mouth at the hose outlet. It is a fully serviceable design, so components can be maintained or replaced over the life of the reel rather than discarding the whole unit. Macnaught back the R3 Series with a 10 year warranty.
This reel is offered with either 3/8" (10mm ID) or 1/2" (12mm ID) hose, both 20 metres long. The reel inlet is 3/8" BSP on both. The hose outlet is 1/4" BSP on the 3/8" reel and 3/8" BSP on the 1/2" reel.

Yes. Macnaught specify the R3 Series as suitable for use across most industries, and it is a common choice for detailing studios and automotive workshops running compressed air.
3/8" suits most general workshop and detailing air tools. The 1/2" hose allows a higher flow of air, so it is the better choice for tools with higher air consumption, such as a rattle gun used for wheel nuts. If you are unsure, contact us with the tools you are running and we will advise.
