Construction Details
The Type E fitting features a durable stainless steel body with a male cam & groove adapter on one end and a hose shank connection 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 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
Male Camlock Adapter
The male cam & groove end inserts into a compatible female camlock coupler. 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 Type E adapter to become part of a hose assembly.
How a Type E 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, 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 before opening the cam arms on the mating female coupler and removing the Type E 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 male camlock connection and hose requirements before ordering.
- Match the Type E male adapter with a compatible female cam & groove coupler.
- Confirm the hose shank is appropriate for the hose being used and select a suitable hose attachment method.
- Inspect the adapter, hose connection, mating gasket, cam arms, and pins 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 coupler, gasket compatibility, hose attachment method, and fluid-transfer application before you order.
