Hose Holder Kärcher HBX 5.35 Metal Black 35m Capacity

The Kärcher HBX 5.35 Metal Black hose holder provides compact wall-mounted storage for garden hoses up to 35 metres. Built from durable metal with a black finish, the unit connects to the tap via a connection hose and can be swivelled on its bracket to allow the hose to reach different parts of the garden. The holder includes an automatic locking mechanism with multiple locking stages and a controlled retraction system that prevents kinks and knots. The cassette can be detached from the wall bracket without tools using the FlexChange system, and the product is designed to be UV-resistant and frost-proof for year-round outdoor use. A cable lock can be fitted for theft protection. The manufacturer offers a five-year warranty.

Advantages

The metal construction and black finish deliver robust, weather-resistant storage while keeping a compact footprint on the wall. The 180°+ swivel bracket increases reach and flexibility, and the automatic locking and controlled retraction ensure smooth operation without tangles. Tool-free removal with the FlexChange system enables convenient winter stowage or interchange between wall bracket and optional hose spike. UV and frost resistance allow permanent outdoor mounting, and the option to fit a cable lock enhances security.

Suitable for

• Home gardens requiring organised hose storage
• Workshops or small commercial sites needing a durable hose reel

How to use

Mount the wall bracket to a suitable outdoor wall near a water tap following the supplied mounting instructions. Connect the hose holder to the tap using the connection hose. Extend the garden hose to the required length; the hose will engage automatically at short intervals. Gently pull the hose end to release the locking mechanism and allow the hose to retract automatically and smoothly into the holder. To remove the cassette, use the FlexChange release and lift the unit from the bracket without tools for storage or to move it to the optional hose spike.

Recommendations

For long-term outdoor installation, mount the bracket on a stable surface and secure fittings to avoid movement. If storing for winter, detach the hose holder with the FlexChange system, drain remaining water from the hose, and store the cassette in a frost-free place. Fit a cable lock if theft protection is required.
