BLUE DEF
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about BLUE DEF from 3G Electric.
What materials are used in BLUE DEF dispensing pumps and valves?
BLUE DEF pumps and valves use materials selected for compatibility with diesel exhaust fluid. Electric drum pumps feature HDPE pump bodies and polypropylene nozzles. Hand pumps have HDPE housings and polypropylene suction tubes. Container valves are made of polyethylene with EPDM seals. Couplers are available in stainless steel or nylon, both with EPDM seals. These materials resist corrosion and avoid introducing contaminants that could degrade DEF quality or damage SCR systems.
What is the maximum flow rate of BLUE DEF electric drum pumps?
BLUE DEF electric drum pumps, including the 120 V AC and 12 V DC models, deliver a maximum flow rate of 10 gallons per minute. They are equipped with a 1/2 horsepower motor and a 3/4-inch BSP discharge hose. These pumps are designed for transferring DEF from drums to vehicle tanks or other containers. The flow rate supports efficient dispensing in fleet maintenance and industrial applications where quick refilling is needed.
What lengths of downtubes are available for BLUE DEF container valves?
BLUE DEF container valves come with downtubes in several lengths to fit different container sizes. Drum valves have a 31 7/8-inch downtube. Tote valves are available with 37 13/16-inch or 45 11/16-inch downtubes. All valves feature a 2-inch buttress connection and EPDM seals. The appropriate downtube length depends on the height of the drum or tote to ensure proper suction and complete dispensing of DEF.
Are BLUE DEF couplers compatible with standard DEF dispensing systems?
BLUE DEF couplers are designed for DEF dispensing systems and feature a 3/4-inch buttress connection with a 90-degree outlet angle. They are available in stainless steel or nylon, both with EPDM seals. The buttress thread is commonly used in DEF applications to provide a secure, leak-resistant connection. These couplers are suitable for connecting hoses and nozzles in drum or tote dispensing setups, ensuring compatibility with standard DEF equipment.
What is included with BLUE DEF drum-mount dispensing pump systems?
BLUE DEF drum-mount dispensing pump systems include the pump, a discharge hose, and a nozzle. The electric models feature a 1/2 hp motor, HDPE construction, and a 3/4-inch BSP discharge hose with a polypropylene nozzle. Some systems may include a meter, but this is not standard. These complete kits are designed for immediate installation on drums, providing a ready-to-use solution for dispensing DEF in workshops and maintenance facilities.
