Construction Details
The Type C fitting features an aluminum body with a female cam & groove coupler on one end and a hose shank on the opposite end.
The female camlock end accepts a compatible male cam & groove adapter. The cam arms on the coupler close around the mating adapter to secure the quick-connect connection.
The hose shank is designed to insert into compatible hose and is secured using the appropriate hose clamp, band, or coupling method selected for the hose and application.
Connection Configuration
Female Camlock Coupler
The female cam & groove end accepts a compatible male camlock adapter of the appropriate nominal size. Closing both cam arms secures the mating adapter inside the coupler.
Hose Shank
The opposite end provides a hose shank designed for insertion into compatible hose, allowing the camlock connection to be incorporated into a hose assembly.
How a Type C Camlock Works
Install the hose shank into compatible hose and secure it using an appropriate hose attachment method for the hose construction, service conditions, and application.
To make the camlock connection, open the cam arms and insert a compatible male cam & groove adapter into the female coupler. Close both cam arms using normal hand pressure to secure the connection.
For disconnection, safely depressurize the system first, raise the cam arms, and remove the male adapter from the female coupler.
