Labels & Marking

Every cord reel is marked with a label which includes the KH Industries name 

and logo, the product catalog number, the individual product serial number, 

NEMA rating, Amps, Volts, Watts and Cable Footage.
The UL / CSA Listing mark is applied to reels that comply with the applicable 

requirements and identified with the authorized mark. 
The maximum cable footage, amperage and voltage rating for every cable 

reel supplied without cable is marked on the KH Industries Identification 

Label. The actual cable installed should not differ from what is indicated 

on the KH Industries label. If the cable must be different please consult the 

factory prior to installing the cable to ensure the change will not affect the 

reliability of the reel or the safety of the people working with the cord reel.
