Construction Details
The Type C fitting features a durable iron body with a female cam & groove coupler on one end and a hose shank on the opposite end.
The female camlock coupler accepts a compatible male cam & groove adapter. Closing the cam arms draws the mating adapter against the gasket inside the coupler to create and secure the quick-connect connection.
The hose shank inserts into compatible flexible hose and is designed to be secured using an appropriate hose attachment method selected for the hose construction, size, pressure requirements, and service conditions.
Connection Configuration
Female Camlock Coupler
The female cam & groove end accepts a compatible male camlock adapter of the appropriate nominal size. Closing the cam arms secures the mating adapter inside the coupler.
Hose Shank
The opposite end provides a hose shank designed for insertion into compatible flexible hose, allowing the fitting to become part of a quick-connect hose assembly when properly secured.
How a Type C Camlock Works
Insert the hose shank into compatible hose and secure it using the appropriate attachment method for the hose construction, size, pressure requirements, and application.
To make the camlock connection, open the cam arms and insert a compatible male cam & groove adapter into the female coupler. Close the cam arms using normal hand pressure to secure the adapter.
For disconnection, safely depressurize and drain the system as appropriate, raise the cam arms, and remove the male adapter from the Type C coupler.
