Description
These reels are designed to dispense Diesel Exhaust Fluid
(DEF) which is also known as aqueous urea solution 32 (AUS
32). DEF is a 32.5% solution of high-purity urea in de-
mineralized water which is injected into diesel engine exhaust
by a selective catalyst reduction (SCR) system to reduce
nitrogen oxide emissions. DEF must be stored, transported and
dispensed using approved materials which will not
contaminate the fluid. The wetted parts of these reels, the reel
shaft and swivel, are constructed from stainless steel and have
flouroelastomer seals. The dispense hoses included with the
reels feature an EPDM tube and cover with stainless steel
fittings. All of these components are constructed of materials
approved for use with DEF.
Installation
A flexible hose connection must be used between the hose
reel inlet and the source of supply to prevent possible
misalignment and binding. An inlet hose is not included
with this reel and must be ordered separately. Alemite
offers model 343143, a ½” ID x 2 ft. long DEF hose with
½” BSPP (Male) connector on each end.
Mounting
The hose reel is equipped with a universal mounting
bracket so that it can be mounted on the floor, wall, or
ceiling; whichever place is convenient. The hose guide arm
can be moved to the position desired by removing the nuts
fastening the guide bracket to the reel base. Shift the guide
arm bracket so the hose comes off the reel at the desired
position and replace the nuts. Refer to Figure 2 for
dimensional drawing.
