Product Description
Hardy 1329249 HREUN005SP22 Disk Plate I (Push Pin Plate)
The Hardy 1329249 Disk Plate I (Style No: HREUN005SP22) is a precision internal component for Hardy’s modern high-performance disc drag reels. Often referred to in technical schematics as the Push Pin Plate or Spindle Spacing Washer, this part is a vital link in the drag transmission system. It sits within the drag stack and acts as the interface that translates the pressure from the regulator knob push-pins into even force against the drag washers.
In reels like the Ultralite DD and CLS series, this plate ensures that the drag engagement remains smooth and linear. If this plate becomes warped, scored, or excessively worn, the drag may feel "staggered" or inconsistent, particularly under the high heat and pressure of a long run.
Product Specifications

Role: Distributes axial load from the push-pins to the drag stack.
Models This Part Fits
The 1329249 is a standard component across Hardy’s "large arbor" disc drag lineup. It is a direct OEM fit for:
-
Hardy Ultralite DD Series: 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000, 8000, 9000, 10000
-
Hardy Ultralite MA DD (Mid-Arbor) Series: 3000 through 10000
-
Hardy CLS Series (Cassette Latching System): CLS 5000, 7000, 9000
-
Hardy ASR Series: (Select early models)
Technical Note: On most schematics (such as the CLS 9000 or Ultralite DD), this is identified as Part #17 (Push Pin Plate 1) or Part #10. It works in conjunction with Disk Plate II (#1329250). You can verify the exact stack sequence for your specific model at www.reelschematic.com.
Key Features
-
Linear Drag Response: Perfectly flat surfaces ensure that drag pressure is applied 100% evenly across the surface of the Rulon or carbon washers.
-
Heat Management: Stainless steel construction helps pull heat away from the drag friction zone during high-speed runs.
-
Precision Spacing: Maintains the factory-calibrated "gap" in the drag housing, preventing the drag from creeping or backing off.
-
OEM Tolerance: Machined to the exact thickness required to ensure the push-pins (Part #1329031) engage the plate at the correct depth.
Maintenance & Lubrication
Because this plate is a primary friction and pressure point, it is susceptible to salt crystallization and heat-related surface oxidation. We recommend using Deuthlon high-performance lubricants:
-
Drag Consistency: Apply a micro-film of Deuthlon Power Grease to the side of the plate that contacts the push-pins. This reduces mechanical "stiction" and ensures the drag starts smoothly every time.
-
Surface Integrity: Wipe the faces of the plate that touch the drag washers with a cloth lightly dampened with Deuthlon Reel Gear Oil. This helps the plate shed moisture and prevents the washers from "bonding" to the metal during long periods of storage.
