This B2C Camlock Layflat Hose Coupling Fitting (Type E, 1.5") is designed for users needing a quick and reliable connection for layflat hoses. Its primary benefit is its ease of use for rapid setup and breakdown of irrigation or transfer systems. A potential consideration is that all thread sizes are BSP (British Standard Pipe Thread), requiring compatible fittings.

'Type E' refers to a specific configuration of cam and groove couplings, typically meaning it has a cam connection on one end (for a layflat hose) and a male BSP thread on the other end. In this case, it connects to a layflat hose via the cam mechanism and has a BSP male thread.
BSP stands for British Standard Pipe thread. It's a standard for pipe and fitting threads used internationally, ensuring compatibility between components designed with this standard.
While camlock fittings can be used for various fluid transfers, this specific polypropylene fitting is primarily intended for water or low-pressure fluid applications with layflat hoses. For air or gas, ensure it's rated and suitable for such use and consider pressure limitations.
Ensure the layflat hose is properly secured to the fitting's barb, the cam levers are fully engaged, and the gasket is in good condition. Compatibility with the correct BSP male fitting is also crucial.
The product description does not specify a maximum pressure rating. Polypropylene camlocks are generally suitable for low to moderate pressure applications. Always consult the manufacturer for specific pressure ratings if critical.
This fitting is designed for layflat hoses, which have specific diameters and constructions. It is unlikely to connect directly or securely to a standard garden hose without an appropriate adapter.
Rinse the fitting with clean water to remove any debris. You can use a soft brush for stubborn dirt. Ensure the gasket and cam mechanism are clean for optimal performance.
Ensure the layflat hose is securely attached to the barb. Check that the cam levers are fully engaged and locked. Inspect the gasket for damage or wear and replace if necessary. Verify that the mating BSP male fitting is clean and not damaged.
Clean the camlock mechanism to remove any dirt or grit. Lubricate the cam levers with a silicone-based lubricant suitable for the application. Ensure the fitting is properly aligned with the male adapter before attempting to lock.
Confirm that both the fitting and the male adapter have compatible BSP threads and the correct diameter (1.5" for the Type E). Ensure there are no obstructions or damaged threads on either component.
Setup: To connect the Type E camlock fitting, ensure the layflat hose is securely attached to the Type E fitting's hose barb. Align the cam arms of the fitting with the corresponding grooves on a BSP male threaded adapter. Push the fitting onto the adapter and then pivot the cam levers downwards to lock them into place. This action seals the connection.
Compatibility: This Type E fitting is designed to connect to a BSP male threaded adapter. The thread size is BSP (British Standard Pipe Thread). Ensure that any male adapter used has matching BSP threading and the correct diameter for your system.
Care: Clean the camlock fitting regularly with water to remove any dirt or debris that could impede the sealing mechanism. Inspect the cam levers and gasket for any signs of wear or damage. Store in a clean, dry place when not in use to prolong its lifespan. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
