Hunter Spring Static Grounding/Bonding Reels can be used when combustible materials are transferred between carriers. For use where a discharge of static electricity could cause a spark and subsequent explosion, such as bulk stations, airports, terminals and refineries. Built for reliable performance, Rota-Reel grounding reels feature a SPIRATOR prestressed spiral spring for easy extension and automatic retraction. A pawl and ratchet permits you to lock the cable at any desired length. A simple tug on the cable unlocks the reel for smooth, steady retraction. The standard termination is a 100 amp alligator clamp. A ball stop on the cable assembly keeps the cable end within easy reach. Rota-Reel grounding reels feature a galvanized steel mounting base for installation in any position and a sturdy steel housing with a weather resistant finish to protect the reel from corrosion.NOTE: Grounding and bonding during fuel handlingoperations can, at best, only prevent external electricaldischarge in the presence of fuel vapor. It does not removebulk charges from the fuel and cannot prevent internalexplosions. To minimize the risk, the conductivity of the fuelshould be increased.
