Swing Arm Assembly

Swing Arm Assembly for Pivoting Fire Hose Reel Support

A swing arm assembly is a pivoting structural component that supports a compatible fire hose reel away from its fixed mounting surface. The arm allows the reel to move outward for improved hose access and then return toward its stored position when the equipment is not in use.

Plan the assembly with AJ Safety Solutions, compare compatible hose reel equipment, and coordinate the mounting space with the available fire cabinet range where cabinet integration is required.

Pivoting Support Arrangement

The wall plate, hinge points, support members, reel interface, and fasteners work together to carry and position the reel. Movement clearance must be maintained around the arm and drum so the reel can swing without obstruction. The complete load path depends on the supplied assembly, supporting wall or cabinet, fixings, and reel weight.

Key Functional Features

• Pivoting arm supports outward reel movement for directional hose access.
• Wall mounting plate forms the fixed interface with the supporting structure.
• Reel-side hub or bracket connects the arm with the compatible drum assembly.
• Folded position helps organize the reel within the planned fire point.

Typical Applications

Swing arm assemblies may be used with swing-type hose reels, cabinet-mounted reels, recessed fire points, or service replacement projects where the approved design requires a movable support. The reel shown in the infographic is for movement context only and is not stated as included with the arm assembly.

Project Specification Notes

Arm length, swing angle, plate dimensions, hole pattern, hinge design, load capacity, material, coating, fasteners, reel interface, and compatibility vary by model. Confirm structural support and complete dimensional data before ordering or installation. No universal fit, load rating, certification, or included mounting hardware is claimed.

Standards and Maintenance References

For hose system requirements, consult NFPA 14; for inspection, testing, and maintenance guidance, consult NFPA 25. Final installation is governed by verified product data, approved drawings, adopted codes, and the authority having jurisdiction.
