Product Information

Full details

This guide is for users needing a secure and fast connection for layflat hoses, particularly those with British Standard Pipe (BSP) threads. The B2C Camlock Type E fitting offers a reliable polypropylene coupling for fluid transfer applications. A key consideration is ensuring thread compatibility, as all thread sizes are BSP.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What does 'Type E' refer to on this camlock fitting?

Type E refers to a female cam lock end that connects to a male cam lock (Type B, C, or D), and features a male BSP thread on the other end, designed to connect into a female BSP threaded port.

What does '0.5"' refer to?

The '0.5"' refers to the male BSP thread size on the fitting.

Can I use this fitting with any type of hose?

This fitting is specifically designed for layflat hoses that utilize cam lock connections. It will not work with standard threaded hoses or barbed fittings.

What is the temperature range for this fitting?

Polypropylene typically has a service temperature range from approximately 0°F to 150°F (-18°C to 65°C). Consult the manufacturer's specifications for precise limits, as extreme temperatures can affect performance and durability.

Are these fittings suitable for drinking water?

While polypropylene is generally considered safe, it is essential to check if the specific material has been certified for potable water applications (e.g., NSF certified) if using for drinking water purposes.

How do I ensure a watertight seal?

Ensure both the cam lock connection and the BSP thread connection are properly tightened and free of debris. The cam levers must be fully engaged and locked.

What is the difference between Type E and Type F fittings?

A Type E fitting has a male BSP thread, while a Type F fitting has a female cam lock and a male BSP thread. They are often used together in a system where a male cam lock connects to the Type F, and the Type F's male thread connects to a female BSP port.

Troubleshooting

Fitting leaks at the connection

Ensure the cam levers are fully engaged and locked. Check that the gasket or seal within the fitting is clean, properly seated, and not damaged. Verify compatibility of the mating cam fitting.

Cam levers are difficult to engage

Ensure the male cam fitting is fully inserted into the female cam portion. Check for any debris or obstructions in the cam grooves or on the mating surfaces. Lightly lubricate the seal with a compatible lubricant if necessary.

Fitting does not lock securely

Inspect the cam arms and the locking mechanism for any signs of bending or damage. Ensure the mating cam fitting is not worn or damaged, which can prevent proper engagement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enables very fast hose connections and disconnections.
  • Resistant to corrosion and chemical damage.
  • Provides a secure, leak-free seal when properly engaged.
  • Lightweight and easy to manage during installation and operation.
  • Cost-effective solution for fluid transfer.

Cons

  • Requires proper alignment for secure locking.
  • Polypropylene may degrade under extreme temperatures or UV exposure over time.
  • Not suitable for high-pressure applications where metal fittings are required.
  • Thread compatibility is limited to BSP standards.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the layflat hose is equipped with the corresponding male cam lock fitting.
  2. Verify that the male BSP thread on the equipment (pump, valve, etc.) matches the 0.5" BSP thread of the Type E fitting.
  3. Insert the male cam fitting of the hose into the female cam portion of the Type E fitting.
  4. Engage the cam levers by pushing them down firmly until they lock into place.

Compatibility:

  • Hose Type: Specifically designed for use with layflat hoses.
  • Thread Type: All thread sizes are British Standard Pipe (BSP).
  • Fluid Type: Suitable for water, mild chemicals, and other non-abrasive fluids. Check material compatibility for specific chemical use.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Rinse with fresh water after use, especially if used with non-potable water or chemicals. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Inspection: Periodically inspect the cam levers and seal for wear or damage. Replace if compromised.
  • Storage: Store in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prolong material life.
