This guide is for users needing a quick and reliable hose connection system. The B2C 1.5" Type C Camlock Fitting offers a dependable coupling for hoses and pipework, facilitating rapid attachment and detachment. A potential caveat is that all thread sizes are British Standard Pipe (BSP), requiring compatible fittings.

Type C refers to the configuration: a female cam lock on one end and a serrated hose tail on the other, designed to connect to a male cam lock fitting.
BSP stands for British Standard Pipe. It is a standardized thread form used for pipes and fittings, ensuring compatibility between components with the same BSP thread designation.
No, this fitting typically does not include a hose clamp. A separate clamp appropriate for the hose size and application pressure must be used to secure the hose to the serrated tail.
This fitting is made from polypropylene, a durable plastic known for its chemical resistance and light weight.
While dependable for moderate pressures, the suitability for high-pressure applications depends on the hose used, the hose clamp effectiveness, and the specific pressure rating of the system. Always consult pressure charts for your specific hose and clamp combination.
Ensure your hose has an inner diameter that closely matches the 1.5" serrated tail. The hose material should also be compatible with the fluid being transferred and suitable for clamping.
Polypropylene camlocks offer good resistance to many chemicals, are lightweight, and are generally more cost-effective than metal alternatives, making them suitable for a wide range of fluid transfer tasks.
Ensure you are connecting to the correct type of mating camlock fitting (male cam lock). Verify that both fittings are clean and free from debris. Check that the sizes match (1.5").
The hose is not adequately secured. Use a higher quality or larger hose clamp, and ensure it is tightened fully over the serrated portion of the tail. The hose itself may be too large or not designed for clamp-on fittings.
Check that the cam levers on the mating fitting are fully engaged and locked. Inspect the gasket (if present) on the mating fitting for damage. Ensure the hose is properly seated on the serrated tail and securely clamped.
Clean the cam surfaces and pivot points. Lubricate lightly with a silicone-based lubricant if necessary. Ensure no dirt or debris is obstructing the mechanism.
Setup: To install, slide the serrated hose tail into the end of a compatible 1.5" hose. Secure the hose onto the tail using a suitable hose clamp (e.g., screw clamp, pinch clamp) positioned over the serrations. Ensure the clamp is tightened firmly to prevent slippage. To connect, simply insert the female cam levers of this Type C fitting into the corresponding male cam lock fitting and lift the levers to secure.
Compatibility: This fitting is designed to connect with a corresponding Type A, B, D, or E male cam lock fitting. The threaded connection is BSP (British Standard Pipe). Ensure your existing pipework or male fittings use BSP threads for a proper seal.
Care: Clean the camlock surfaces periodically with a damp cloth to ensure smooth operation. Inspect the polypropylene for any signs of damage, such as cracks or excessive wear, before each use. Avoid exposing the fitting to solvents or chemicals that may degrade polypropylene if unsure of compatibility.
