Why can't you people just measure for us is it 16'' x 13 3/4'', is it 16 1/8 x 15'' like the new ames 241550?'

Exactly the same as your old one. My old hose reel was 25 years old and I thought I'd have to re-drill my mounting holes but I did not. My new hose reel went on the old mounts perfectly and the screw holes lined up exactly as the old one.

To lazy to go and measure for you. I will tell you that for the money you will not find a better hose reel. I'd advise not to shop based on location of mounting holes, but the reel itself. Get the 23887B.

16 inches exactly. I have 3 of them that replaced old ones and it's the same.

We had a very old Ames and the new one mounted exactly as the old one (didn't have to drill new holes).

. Our previous hose reel was one manufactured by Ames and the new one mounted with no problems.

Dear Donna, I had a previous one for ten years which got lost in transit. I'm not sure if new one is same, but it looks and performs identically. Keep smiling!

Call the company when in doubt, most are 1 year. We had one for many years with no problems, that is why I bought another one.

It depends on how much you use it. Mine lasted a lot longer than 2 years. But I used it even after they become somewhat worn. The replacements were very easy to install and work great.

Hi, the last one I had lasted over 10 years but I suspect the newer ones won't go that distance.

I think that's a good question...but I bought a new one cause it's not all that expensive. Good luck.

I'm sorry but I would have to remove it from the wall, unwire it and hope there is a date. Since it's hardwired I wouldn't be able to tell you. I'm sorry. But it works wonderfully and the County inspectors liked it.

I will try and help. I do not have any of the paperwork any longer so what I will say is from how mine is mounted. The wall the unit is mounted in is a typical 2 x 4 wall with sheet rock on both sides. The sheet rock is 3/4", the 2 x 4's are only 3 5/8". Hope this helps.

Installed over 4 years ago and it still works perfectly. Shelf life?? I don't know but since it has no moving parts, I would expect many more years of service.

The two units I received are dated 2012 Jun 06. I assume the units should be replaced 10 years from that date. I'm going to assume you weren't interested in the date on MY unit but on the NEW unit you were thinking of buying, but I answered anyhow.

I would take the screw to a hardware store and see if you can buy another one.

You'll find the mnfc. date on the inside of the unit. The unit will be good for five yrs from that date. My last one lived for almost seven yrs. before needing replacement.

There is no way to know without you first removing the old one. There are different styles and lengths offered. This one here is a very popular one but not the only one made. It would be best to see what you have first and the only way to do so is to remove your old one.

I think it may be an error too. I have had mine since 1995. I use them everyday for work. I was worried I might not be able to find them anymore and maybe should get some to replace them since I rely on them so much. They are well worth the price. Mine are in great shape still.

Still didn't have to repair or replace parts so I don't know. Considering that I have been using mine since October 2013 with no problems, I think buying a new one if it breaks would not be such a big issue considering the price of $74,18. I think placing it properly and checking the batteries after a couple of months for corrosion will help it last.

I do not know. I've had mine for a year with no problems. And had the one just like it before this for 15 years.

I'm sorry I don't remember the numbers of either my old one or my new one. I just know that I had my old one installed about 19-20 years ago and my new one installed about 3 years ago. I checked my Amazon account to see if I could find the number of my new one and it's no longer listed under my past orders.
