A hose reel () is supported by a mounting bracket () which can be attached on a vertical or horizontal surface and allow for 180 degrees of motion to allow the hose reel () to automatically swivel in the direction the hose () is being pulled. The bracket mechanism () consists of integral mounting bosses () on the hose reel enclosures (), a mounting bracket (), a tube () and a constraint device () on the tube (). The mounting bosses () on the hose reel enclosures () are designed to orient and constrain the mounting tube () to allow for the tube to be installed from either end of the hose reel. The constraining device () on the tube () locks into an integral opening () in the mounting bosses () to prevent tube () displacement in either direction.
