Construction Details
The Type E fitting features a durable polypropylene body with a male cam & groove adapter on one end and an integral hose shank on the opposite end.
The male camlock adapter inserts into a compatible female cam & groove coupler. The cam arms on the mating female coupler engage the adapter groove and secure the connection.
The hose shank inserts into compatible flexible hose and should be secured using an appropriate hose clamp, band, crimp, or other retention method selected for the hose construction and intended application.
Connection Configuration
Male Camlock Adapter
The male cam & groove end inserts into a compatible female camlock coupler. The cam arms are located on the mating female coupler rather than on the Type E fitting.
Hose Shank
The hose shank inserts into compatible flexible hose and provides a mechanical connection point for an appropriate hose-retention system.
How a Type E Camlock Works
Install the hose shank into compatible hose and secure it using the appropriate hose-retention method for the hose and intended service.
To make the camlock connection, open the cam arms on the mating female coupler and insert the Type E male adapter. Close both cam arms using normal hand pressure to secure the connection.
Before disconnecting the fitting, safely depressurize and drain the system as appropriate. Open the cam arms on the female coupler and remove the Type E male adapter.

Polypropylene Cam & Groove Benefits
Polypropylene cam & groove fittings provide a lightweight alternative to metal camlocks while offering corrosion resistance for compatible applications.
The nonmetallic construction can be useful in water, irrigation, agricultural, industrial, and compatible fluid-transfer systems where polypropylene is appropriate for the transferred media and operating conditions.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the male camlock size and hose inside diameter required before ordering.
- Match the Type E male adapter with a compatible female cam & groove coupler.
- Use a hose-retention method appropriate for the hose construction and intended application.
- Never connect or disconnect cam & groove fittings while the system is pressurized.
- Verify polypropylene, hose, gasket, pressure, temperature, and transferred-media compatibility before installation.
Our hose, fitting, and industrial product specialists can help review your camlock size, hose size, connection configuration, polypropylene material requirements, hose retention requirements, and fluid-transfer application before you order.
