This guide is for users needing a quick and reliable hose connection. The B2C Camlock Layflat Hose Coupling Fitting, specifically the Type Dp - Blank Plug (Female), offers a secure and efficient way to terminate a layflat hose with a BSP female thread. Its primary benefit is its ease of use and robust connection, though it is designed as a blanking cap and does not facilitate flow.

'Dp' indicates that this fitting is a Blank Plug (Type Dp) for layflat hoses.
'Fe' signifies that the BSP thread on this fitting is Female.
The thread size is 2 inches, and the type is BSP (British Standard Pipe Thread).
No, this is a blank cap designed to terminate a hose end and prevent flow, not to facilitate it.
It is typically secured to the layflat hose using a clamp system such as crimping, banding, or a hose clamp, depending on the hose specification.
The fitting is made from Polypropylene.
Ensure both the female thread on the blank plug and the male thread on the mating fitting are clean and free of debris. Properly engage the threads and tighten securely, then fully engage the camlock mechanism.
Ensure the cam arms are fully retracted before attempting to connect. Check for any obstructions or debris in the cam groove or on the mating part. Verify that the threads are correctly aligned before trying to connect.
Confirm that the mating BSP threads are clean and properly sealed. Ensure the camlock mechanism is fully engaged and the clamping on the hose is secure. Inspect the hose itself for damage near the fitting.
Gently try to work the cam arms back and forth. Check for any build-up of dirt or sediment. A small amount of lubricant safe for polypropylene may be applied to the pivot points if necessary, but avoid over-lubrication.
Setup: To install, ensure the layflat hose is prepared according to its manufacturer's instructions for coupling attachment. Slide the camlock fitting onto the hose end and secure it using the appropriate clamping method (e.g., crimping, banding, or hose clamps, depending on the specific hose and fitting system). For the BSP female thread, ensure it is clean and free of debris before mating with a male BSP threaded component.
Compatibility: This fitting is designed for layflat hoses and features a female BSP thread. It is compatible with male BSP threaded fittings of the corresponding size (2 inches in this case). Always verify that your layflat hose is designed to accept camlock fittings and that the thread size matches your intended connection.
Care: Clean the fitting periodically with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh solvents that could degrade the polypropylene. Inspect the cam arms and seal (if applicable) for wear or damage regularly. Store in a clean, dry place when not in use.
