How to identify the type of plastic
Most products you purchase will have the information on the label. If no information is provided you can look for a marking similar to the following that will help you identify the type of plastic it was made with.



ABS does not have a symbol, but is often marked >ABS&lt;.

In your case, I'd look around the base of the hose reel you should be able to find it. If not consult the manufacturers website.
