DEF
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about DEF from 3G Electric.
What is the temperature range for DEF hose assemblies from DEF?
DEF hose assemblies in the DEF line operate within a temperature range of -40°F to 140°F (-40°C to 60°C). This range covers typical ambient conditions for storage and dispensing of diesel exhaust fluid. The hose cover is black and the inner core is compatible with DEF, which is a urea-based solution. Exceeding this temperature range may affect hose integrity or fluid properties. For applications outside this range, consult the manufacturer's specifications or contact 3G Electric for alternative options.
What connection types are available on DEF hose assemblies?
DEF hose assemblies are available with stainless steel male x male (MM) or stainless steel male x male MS (MMS) end connections. The MS designation typically refers to a metric straight thread. Both connection types are made of stainless steel for corrosion resistance. The 3/4-inch inside diameter is standard across the current SKUs. When selecting, ensure the connection type matches your dispensing equipment or vehicle SCR system ports. 3G Electric lists the specific connection type in each product's specifications.
Can DEF hose assemblies be used with other fluids?
DEF hose assemblies are specifically designed for diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), a urea-based solution used in SCR systems. They are not intended for other fluids unless explicitly stated by the manufacturer. Using them with incompatible fluids may cause hose degradation, contamination, or failure. The stainless steel fittings and black hose cover are selected for DEF compatibility. For other fluids, consult 3G Electric for appropriate hose assemblies. Always verify chemical compatibility before use.
What lengths are available for DEF hose assemblies?
The DEF hose assembly line includes lengths of 5 ft, 8 ft, 10 ft, 12 ft, 15 ft, 20 ft, and 25 ft. All have a 3/4-inch inside diameter and a black hose cover. Longer lengths may require support to prevent kinking or stress on fittings. Select the shortest length that reaches from the storage tank to the dispensing point to minimize pressure drop and fluid waste. 3G Electric stocks multiple SKUs to accommodate different installation layouts.
How does 3G Electric support the DEF hose assembly line?
