Construction Details
The Type E fitting features a durable iron 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 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
Male Camlock Adapter
The male cam & groove end inserts into a compatible female camlock coupler of the appropriate nominal size. The cam arms on the mating female coupler secure the adapter in position.
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 E 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, insert the Type E male adapter into a compatible female cam & groove coupler. Close the cam arms on the mating female coupler using normal hand pressure to secure the connection.
For disconnection, safely depressurize and drain the system as appropriate, open the cam arms on the mating female coupler, and remove the Type E adapter.
