4" Stainless Steel Type C Cam & Groove Coupler x Hose Shank provides a direct connection between compatible male cam and groove adapters and hose assemblies.
Constructed from 316 stainless steel, the Dixon 400-C-SS combines a 4" female cam and groove coupler with a 4" hose shank. The assembly uses a nitrile rubber gasket and stainless steel cam-arm pins for compatible liquid-transfer systems.
Product Highlights
316 stainless steel Type C coupler designed to connect compatible 4" cam and groove adapters to hose.
The 400-C-SS uses a nitrile gasket, stainless steel cam-arm pins, and a long hose shank design.
Technical Specifications
Type C Connection Configuration
The female coupler accepts a compatible 4" male cam and groove adapter and secures the connection when both cam arms are properly engaged.
The opposite end provides a 4" hose shank for connection to compatible hose using the properly selected attachment system.
Type C Stainless Steel Cam & Groove Coupler Design
The Dixon 400-C-SS combines a 4" female cam and groove coupler with a 4" hose shank in one Type C fitting. This configuration allows a compatible hose assembly to connect directly with a male cam and groove adapter without requiring a separate threaded transition.
Confirm the nominal cam and groove size and hose inside diameter before installation because both ends must match the intended components. Proper sizing helps maintain the correct connection geometry throughout the complete transfer assembly.
The 400-C-SS is manufactured from 316 stainless steel for compatible liquid-transfer applications where stainless construction is required. The coupler also uses durable stainless steel cam-arm pins designed to resist rusting and binding during repeated connection cycles.
Inspect the fitting body, cam arms, pins, hose shank, and sealing surfaces before installation. Damage, deformation, contamination, or excessive wear should be addressed before the coupling is assembled into the hose system.
The female coupler is supplied with a nitrile rubber gasket retained within the gasket recess for proper placement. The gasket seals against the mating male adapter while the cam arms secure the connected components using normal hand pressure.
Inspect the gasket for cuts, flattening, hardening, swelling, or contamination before each installation. Confirm nitrile compatibility with the transferred liquid and replace damaged or deteriorated seals before returning the coupling to service.
The 400-C-SS uses a long hose shank design that provides adequate surface area for proper hose banding or compatible crimp-system installation. Dixon also identifies this fitting for use with compatible King Crimp® sleeves and ferrules.
Dixon lists a maximum operating pressure of 100 PSI, increasing to 150 PSI when properly used with the King Crimp® ferrule system. Hose construction, attachment method, media, temperature, and complete system requirements should all be confirmed before service.
Installation & Selection Considerations
Confirm the 4" nominal size.
Verify the Type C configuration.
Inspect the nitrile gasket.
Match the hose attachment system.
Verify liquid compatibility.
Our product specialists can help review nominal size, stainless steel construction, hose requirements, gasket compatibility, mating adapter requirements, and intended liquid service before you order.
