FAQs

What type of thread does this fitting use?

All thread sizes on this fitting are BSP - British Standard Pipe Thread.

What does 'Type E' mean for this fitting?

Type E indicates that this fitting has a cam lock on one end and a serrated hose tail on the other, designed to connect directly to a hose.

Does this fitting come with a hose clamp?

No, a hose clamp is not included with this fitting. It must be purchased separately to secure the hose to the serrated tail.

What is the material of this fitting?

The fitting is made of durable polypropylene, which offers good resistance to many common chemicals.

Can I use this fitting for high-pressure applications?

This fitting is designed for layflat hoses and general water transfer. It is not intended for extremely high-pressure systems or steam applications. Always refer to the pressure ratings of your hose and clamping system.

How do I ensure a secure connection to my layflat hose?

Ensure the serrated tail fits snugly inside the hose. Use a high-quality hose clamp of the appropriate size and tighten it firmly around the hose and the fitting's serrated tail.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty connecting or disconnecting

Ensure the mating camlock faces are clean and free of debris. Check for any damage to the cam arms or locking grooves. Ensure the correct size fitting is being used.

Hose slipping off the serrated tail

The hose may be too large for the fitting, or the hose clamp is not tightened sufficiently. Use a properly sized hose clamp and tighten it securely around the hose and the serrated tail.

Leakage at the connection point

Inspect the gasket/seal on the mating camlock for damage or wear and replace if necessary. Ensure the cam arms are fully engaged and locked down.

Fitting feels brittle

Polypropylene can become brittle in very cold temperatures. Avoid applying excessive force in freezing conditions. Store the fitting indoors during prolonged cold weather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the layflat hose you are using is designed for a 2-inch fitting and can accommodate the serrated tail.
  2. Insert the serrated tail of the Type E fitting into the end of the layflat hose.
  3. Secure the hose onto the serrated tail using a suitable hose clamp (not included) to prevent the hose from slipping off under pressure. Ensure the clamp is tightened appropriately.
  4. To connect to another camlock fitting, simply align the cam arms with the groove on the corresponding camlock and push the lever arms down.

Compatibility:

  • This fitting is designed for use with 2-inch layflat hoses.

Care:
