Static Discharge Reel Assembly

A Static Discharge Reel Assembly is a component of Lubrication And Fuel Dispensing Equipment in the Maintenance And Repair Shop Equipment supply group.

Static Discharge Reel Assemblies are designed to safely dissipate static electricity that can build up during fuel dispensing operations. They are typically used in fueling stations, maintenance and repair shops, and other facilities where fuel is handled.

The assembly consists of a reel, which houses a length of conductive cable or hose, and a grounding clamp or clip. The cable or hose is connected to a grounding point on the fuel dispensing equipment, such as the nozzle or pump, and the other end is connected to a suitable grounding point, such as a metal structure or grounding rod.

When the fuel dispensing equipment is in use, static electricity can accumulate on the equipment and the vehicle being fueled. The static discharge reel assembly provides a safe path for the static electricity to dissipate, preventing the risk of sparks or electrical discharge that could ignite fuel vapors.

Static Discharge Reel Assemblies are typically spring-loaded, allowing the cable or hose to be easily extended and retracted as needed. They are often mounted on walls, ceilings, or fuel dispensing islands for convenient access.

Overall, Static Discharge Reel Assemblies are an important safety feature in fueling operations, helping to prevent accidents and protect against the hazards of static electricity.
