FAQs

What does 'Type C' mean for this fitting?

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.

What is BSP thread?

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.

Does this fitting come with a hose clamp?

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.

What material is this fitting made from?

This fitting is made from polypropylene, a durable plastic known for its chemical resistance and light weight.

Can I use this fitting for high-pressure applications?

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.

How do I determine if my hose is compatible?

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.

What are the benefits of polypropylene camlocks?

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.

Troubleshooting

Fitting will not connect to mating part

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").

Hose slips off the serrated tail

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.

Leak at the connection point

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.

Cam levers are stiff or difficult to operate

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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Facilitates very quick hose connections and disconnections.
  • Durable polypropylene material offers good chemical resistance.
  • Serrated hose tail ensures a secure grip on the hose when properly clamped.
  • BSP threads ensure compatibility with standard pipe fittings.
  • Ideal for applications where frequent connection/disconnection is necessary.

Cons

  • Requires a separate hose clamp for the serrated tail, which is not included.
  • Limited to applications where a male cam lock (on the mating fitting) is present.
  • Polypropylene may not be suitable for extreme temperatures or high-impact applications.
  • All thread sizes are BSP, limiting compatibility to other BSP fittings.
  • Potential for leaks if not properly secured or if the hose is not compatible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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.
