What is DEF?
DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) is an aqueous 32.5% solution of high-purity urea in deionized water and is key components of selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems, which help diesel vehicles meet stringent emission regulations (eff. date Jan 1, 2010). DEF is a liquid reducing agent that reacts with engine exhaust in the presence of a catalyst to convert smog-forming nitrogen oxides (NOx) into harmless nitrogen and water vapor.

STAINLESS STEEL FITTINGS ONLY
Any company who installs a fitting on Continental ContiTech DEF hose takes responsibility for correct fitting installation, hose/fitting compatibility, and grounding. This recommended crimp OD is only for the fittings above on Continental ContiTech DEF hose sold and manufactured by Continental ContiTech to be used specifically for DEF dispensing. The company installing the fitting must develop its own proper installation and quality control procedures. The installer must test and verify hose/fitting compatibility and ensure proper grounding. If requested, Continental ContiTech will test coupled assemblies and report the test results back to the company who installed the fittings.

26. Electrically Conductive?
Some applications require a hose to be electrically conductive.
Application specific.
Conductivity or static dissipative properties are achieved through specially formulated compounds and/or adding wire to the hose, either static wire or a helix.
