Construction Details
The Type C fitting features a durable polypropylene body with a female cam & groove coupler on one end and a hose shank on the opposite end.
The female camlock side accepts a compatible male cam & groove adapter. Closing the cam arms draws the mating adapter against the gasket inside the coupler and secures the quick-connect connection.
The hose shank end is designed for insertion into compatible flexible hose and is secured using an appropriate hose-clamping or attachment 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 connection designed to fit inside compatible flexible hose, allowing the camlock connection to become part of a hose assembly.
How a Type C Camlock Works
The hose shank is inserted into compatible hose and secured using an appropriate attachment method for the hose construction, operating conditions, and intended service.
To make the camlock connection, open both cam arms and insert a compatible male cam & groove adapter into the Type C female coupler. Close both cam arms using normal hand pressure to secure the connection.
For disconnection, safely depressurize and drain the system as appropriate before opening the cam arms and removing the mating male adapter.

Polypropylene Cam & Groove Benefits
Polypropylene cam & groove fittings provide a lightweight alternative to metal camlocks while offering useful corrosion resistance for compatible applications.
The nonmetallic construction can be especially useful in water, irrigation, agricultural, and compatible chemical-transfer systems where polypropylene is suitable for the transferred media and operating conditions.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the female camlock connection and hose requirements before ordering.
- Match the Type C female coupler with a compatible male cam & groove adapter.
- Confirm the hose shank is appropriate for the hose being used and select a suitable hose attachment method.
- Inspect the gasket, cam arms, pins, hose connection, and mating adapter before use.
- Verify polypropylene, gasket, hose, pressure, temperature, and transferred-media compatibility before installation.
Our hose, fitting, and industrial product specialists can help review your camlock connection, hose requirements, connection configuration, polypropylene material requirements, mating adapter, hose attachment requirements, chemical compatibility, and fluid-transfer application before you order.
