Construction Details
The Type E fitting features an aluminum body with a male cam & groove adapter on one end and a hose shank on the opposite end.
The male camlock adapter inserts into a compatible female cam & groove coupler. The cam arms located on the mating female coupler close around the adapter to secure the quick-connect connection.
The hose shank inserts into compatible hose and is secured using the appropriate clamp, band, or coupling method selected for the hose construction and application.
Connection Configuration
Male Camlock Adapter
The male cam & groove end inserts into a compatible female camlock coupler of the appropriate nominal size.
Hose Shank
The opposite end provides a hose shank designed for insertion into compatible hose, allowing the camlock adapter to become part of a hose assembly.
How a Type E 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, insert the male adapter into a compatible female cam & groove coupler. Close both cam arms on the mating female coupler using normal hand pressure to secure the connection.
For disconnection, safely depressurize the system first, open the cam arms on the mating female coupler, and remove the Type E adapter.
