Construction Details
The Type C fitting features a durable stainless steel body with a female cam & groove coupler on one end and a hose shank connection 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 is designed for insertion into compatible flexible hose and should be secured using an appropriate hose attachment method selected for the hose construction and intended application.
Connection Configuration
Female Camlock Coupler
The female cam & groove end accepts a compatible male camlock adapter. Closing both cam arms secures the mating adapter inside the coupler and compresses it against the gasket.
Hose Shank
The opposite end provides a hose shank designed for insertion into compatible flexible hose, allowing the Type C coupler to become part of a hose assembly.
How a Type C Camlock Works
The hose shank is inserted into compatible hose and secured using a suitable banding, clamping, crimping, or other attachment method appropriate for the hose 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.

Why Stainless Steel?
Stainless steel provides corrosion resistance and durability for demanding hose and fluid-transfer applications.
This construction can be useful where moisture, outdoor exposure, washdown, compatible chemicals, or corrosive operating environments make material resistance an important consideration.
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 stainless steel, 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, stainless steel material requirements, mating adapter, gasket compatibility, hose attachment method, and fluid-transfer application before you order.
