Built for controlled Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) dispensing in fleet shops, service trucks, and stationary fluid stations, the Coxreels EZ-SH-525-DF-BBX EZ-Coil spring rewind hose reel provides a ready-to-use DEF handling setup with 3/4" hose I.D., 25 ft hose length, and a 300 PSI maximum pressure rating. DEF, or Diesel Exhaust Fluid, requires compatible wetted components to help protect fluid integrity, and this reel is equipped with a stainless steel external full-flow swivel and Viton seals for DEF dispensing service.
The EZ-SH-525-DF-BBX is part of Coxreels' EZ-SH-DEF reel family, combining a heavy-duty single pedestal frame with the EZ-Coil safety system, which retracts hose more slowly than conventional spring reels for improved control during rewind. Its Super Hub's dual axle support system helps stabilize the reel during operation, while the multi-position guide arm allows installation on wall, floor, ceiling, overhead, or vehicle-mounted layouts.

FAQs:
- Q: Does the EZ-SH-525-DF-BBX include hose?
A: Yes. This model is listed with hose included and is configured with 25 ft of 3/4" I.D. hose for DEF dispensing service. - Q: What does DEF mean?
A: DEF stands for Diesel Exhaust Fluid, a fluid used in modern diesel exhaust aftertreatment systems. Because DEF can be sensitive to contamination and material compatibility, the reel uses DEF-focused components such as a stainless steel swivel and Viton seals. - Q: What is the benefit of the EZ-Coil system?
A: EZ-Coil slows hose retraction compared with conventional spring rewind reels. This gives the user more control during rewind and helps reduce the snap-back effect common with standard spring reels. - Q: Can this reel be mounted on a service truck?
A: Yes. Coxreels lists the guide arm as adjustable for wall, floor, ceiling, vehicle, and overhead mounting positions. Always confirm available mounting space using the 9.38" W x 25.5" H x 19.5" L overall dimensions and mounting pattern before installation. - Q: Is this reel for gasoline or diesel fuel transfer?
A: This specific model is for DEF dispensing applications. Do not use it for fuels or other fluids unless the manufacturer confirms compatibility with the hose, seals, swivel, and pressure requirements.
