This guide is for users requiring a quick and reliable connection for layflat hoses, specifically the B2C Camlock Type DP Blank Plug with a 1.25" connection size. Its key benefit is providing a secure, leak-resistant seal for temporary or permanent setups. A caveat is that all thread sizes are BSP - British Standard Pipe Thread, which must be compatible with your existing fittings.

Type DP indicates a blank plug, meaning it's designed to close off or terminate a hose connection. It doesn't have an outlet or inlet port, serving as a cap.
BSP stands for British Standard Pipe. It's a set of standardized thread forms used for pipes and fittings, ensuring compatibility between components manufactured to the same standard.
While camlock systems are generally standardized, exact compatibility can vary. It is best to use with B2C brand fittings or confirm the specifications match your existing fittings precisely.
Polypropylene typically has a service temperature range suitable for many common applications, but prolonged exposure to extreme heat (above 160°F/70°C) or cold can affect its integrity. Consult the manufacturer for specific temperature limits.
Measure the outer diameter of the layflat hose when it is laid flat. A 1.25" hose will typically measure around that diameter when pressurized, or slightly less when flat. Confirm with your hose's specifications.
This camlock fitting is generally suitable for low to medium-pressure fluid transfer. For high-pressure applications, a more robust, specifically rated fitting might be necessary.
Ensure the mating fitting is clean and free of debris. Check that both fittings are the same size and type. Slightly move the cam arms back and forth while pushing to help them seat properly.
Verify that the cam arms are fully locked. Inspect the gasket (if applicable) for damage or debris and ensure it is seated correctly. Confirm that the hose size and fitting are an exact match.
This may indicate prolonged exposure to UV light, extreme temperatures, or incompatible chemicals. Inspect for damage and consider replacing the fitting if compromised. Store away from direct sunlight and harsh chemicals.
Setup: To connect, align the cam arms of the plug with the corresponding grooves on a mating cam fitting. Push the plug firmly into the fitting and then rotate the cam arms clockwise until they lock securely. Ensure the locking mechanism is fully engaged.
Compatibility: This fitting uses 1.25" connections and features British Standard Pipe (BSP) threads on the non-cam end. It is compatible with other B2C camlock fittings of the same size and type, as well as any other fittings with compatible BSP threads.
Care: Clean the camlock fitting regularly with water and a mild detergent. Inspect the cam arms and gasket (if present) for wear or damage. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could degrade the polypropylene material. Store in a clean, dry area when not in use.
