New DEF hose assembly from Gates

Gates has introduced new Diesel Exhaust Fluid Hotline Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) hose assemblies, which are used by than a million class 8 vehicles equipped with SCR systems.

Gates says its patented carbon fiber heating system provides faster thaw times, lower amp draw and more uniform heating than OE heated-wire designs. In cold weather, vehicles are up and running sooner conserving fuel and improving efficiency.

Over-molded quick connectors keep dirt and grime out of critical connections to prevent premature system failure.
