Product Information

Full details

This guide is for users needing a quick and reliable fluid or air coupling solution, particularly in agricultural, industrial, or construction settings. The B2C Camlock Layflat Hose Fitting, specifically the Type C - 2" model, offers a straightforward connection and disconnection process. A potential caveat to note is that all thread sizes are BSP (British Standard Pipe Thread), which requires compatibility with corresponding fittings.

FAQs

What does 'BSP' thread mean?

BSP stands for British Standard Pipe thread. It's a standard for pipe and fitting threads used internationally. Ensure your mating fittings also have BSP threads for a proper connection.

What is the difference between Type C and other Camlock types?

Type C is a Female Camlock fitting with a serrated hose tail, designed to connect to a Male Camlock (Type E). The Type C specifically allows for the connection of a layflat hose.

Can I use this fitting with fuel or oil?

Polypropylene is generally resistant to many chemicals, but it's best to verify compatibility with specific fuels or oils. Consult a chemical resistance chart for polypropylene or contact the manufacturer if unsure.

What size hose tail does the 2" Type C fitting have?

The 2" Type C Camlock fitting has a serrated hose tail designed for a 2" internal diameter layflat hose. The overall measurement across the ruler for the hose tail is approximately 2.25 inches.

How do I ensure a watertight seal?

Ensure the rubber gasket within the female coupler is clean and properly seated. Connect the fittings firmly and ensure the cam arms are fully locked. Check for any damage to the sealing surfaces.

Can these fittings be used for high-pressure water jetting?

No, camlock fittings are generally not recommended for high-pressure applications like pressure washing or water jetting. They are best suited for lower-pressure fluid transfer or suction.

Troubleshooting

Fitting leaks after connection

Ensure the cam handles are fully engaged. Check the gasket/seal for damage or debris and clean or replace if necessary. Verify the hose is securely attached to the serrated tail.

Cam arms are difficult to engage/disengage

Check for dirt or debris in the cam grooves or on the mating surface. Ensure fittings are properly aligned. Lubricate cam pivots lightly if needed with a silicone-based lubricant.

Hose slips off the serrated tail

The hose may be the wrong size or made of a slippery material. Ensure the hose has a 2" internal diameter. Use a hose clamp for extra security, especially if the hose material is not rigid.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enables rapid hose connections and disconnections.
  • Constructed from durable, corrosion-resistant polypropylene.
  • Standardized BSP threads ensure compatibility with many systems.
  • Multiple sizes available to suit different hose requirements.

Cons

  • Requires specific BSP threaded counterparts for connection.
  • Not designed for high-pressure applications where threaded fittings might be preferred.
  • Polypropylene can become brittle in extreme cold temperatures.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the layflat hose is securely fitted to the serrated tail of the Type C camlock.
  2. Align the cam arms of one fitting with the grooves of the mating camlock.
  3. Push the fittings together firmly.
  4. Lift the cam handles to secure the connection. Ensure handles are fully engaged for a tight seal.

Compatibility:

  • This fitting uses 2" BSP (British Standard Pipe) threads. Ensure any threaded connections are also BSP compatible.
  • The serrated hose tail is designed for 2" internal diameter layflat hoses. Verify hose internal diameter.
  • Always check material compatibility between the polypropylene fitting and the fluid being transferred.

Care:

  • Clean fittings regularly with water and a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Inspect cam arms and seals for wear or damage before each use.
  • Store fittings in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
