Unwind Hook & Loop strap off Coil=It™
Step
2: Install Hook & Loop Strap
Make a loop in the Hook & Loop strap by inserting
the end of the strap through the buckle. Place this
loop over the female end of the hose and tighten.
the Hook & Loop strap may be left on the hose
permanently.
Step
3: Install Coil-It™
Coil-It™ is a rubber device with two holes,
one smaller than the other. Gently stretch the small
Cili-It™ hole over the male end of your hose
and slide the Coil-It™ down the hose 2 to
3 feet. See Figure 1. Leave the Coil-It™
permanently attached on the hose in this position.
Step
4: Coil Hose
To begin coiling, hold the hose and Coil-It™
in one hand. Place your other hand on the brass
male end of your hose and make your first coil by
slipping the brass male end through the Coil-It's™
large hole and positioning it on brass end. See
Figure 2. Keeping both hands inside the coil,
begin coiling by pulling the hose toward you using
a smooth hand under hand motion. See Figure 3.
Keeping your coils together, continue until you
come to the Hook & Loop strap. Now, simply wrap
the strap around the coiled hose to complete the
task.
To use the hose reverse step 4.
How
to use with Quick-Connects or Pressure Regulator?
There are two
ways to do this with Coil n' Wrap®. The first one
uses the traditional water hose coilit and second
uses the 30-Amp coilit.
First the water
hose coilit. Put the coilit on the hose without
the Quick-Connect or Pressure Regulator being on
the hose. Second, make your first coil and put the
end of the hose thru the large hole in the coilit.
Third add the Quick-Connect or Pressure Regulator
to the end. To use the Quick-Connect or Regulator,
leave the first loop in and pull the Quick-Connect
or Regulator away from the Coil-It® thus making
the first loop 3 or 4 inches in diameter. Attach
to the rig. When you are finished, disconnect and
push the hose back thru the hole in the coilit so
you get back to the original size of the coil you
had to begin with and then coil the hose. This method
works for the majority of our users. Some people
however don't want to leave the first small loop
in the hose, which brings us to using the 30-Amp
coilit .
Using
the 30-Amp coilit with a Quick-Connect or Pressure
Regulator: The 30-Amp coilit is made
from a firmer rubber than used with the water hose.
The water hose coilit has to stretch over the end
and we can't do that with electrical cords. There
is also a slit in the side so you can clip it over
the cord on an electrical cord or attach it to a
water hose. See picture of the 30-Amp cord coilit.
Attach and roll up with the Quick-Connect or Regulator
already attached.
I
like to join the ends of my hose together. After
you have rolled up the hose for the first time with
the coilit attached, note where the hose ends are.
Move the coilit that is attached to the hose (the
one you stretched over the end and slid down about
3') a few inches and roll up the hose again. Moving
the coilit changes the size of the first coil and
the other coils as you roll it up. This will allow
you to set the hose up
I like
to leave the hose connected to the rig. Use
the 30-Amp coilit at the faucet end. Make your first
coil and then walk the hose back to the rig. Good
idea to drain it from the rig end first. You will
probably find that the hose will bind somewhere
along the way back to the rig. Give it a half turn
and continue. Put the Hook & Loop tie further down on
the hose to secure it.
