Hose x Female Stainless Steel Camlock TYPE C

A Type C camlock is a female coupler on a hose shank, which makes it the lever end fitted directly to a hose. Push it on, clamp it, and the hose couples to any matching male adapter in seconds. The 316 stainless version is what goes on food grade and wash down hose, where the coupling gets cleaned as hard as the hose does.

Key features

• Sizes 20 mm to 100 mm (20 mm, 25 mm, 32 mm, 40 mm, 50 mm, 65 mm, 80 mm, 100 mm)
• Cam and groove Type C, female coupler with a hose shank
• 316 stainless steel, the marine and food grade
• NBR (Buna) gasket rated to 100°C
• Approved in food industry service as well as water, oil and powders
• Survives salt air, wash down chemicals and repeated steam cleaning
• Connects and disconnects by hand in seconds, with no tools

Applications

• Suction and delivery hose ends
• Tanker and bulk transfer hose
• Wash down and irrigation hose

Compatibility and fitting

• It couples to a Type A, E or F male adapter, and takes a dust plug to keep the gasket clean.
• Sizes must match: a 50 mm coupler only takes a 50 mm adapter
• 316 tolerates the caustic and acid cleaners used in food and beverage plants
• Keep stainless couplings away from aluminium ones on the same wet line to avoid galvanic attack
• Stainless is heavy at large bores, so support the hose rather than letting the coupling carry it
• Matching hose is in the rubber hose and PVC hose ranges

How is the hose shank secured?

With clamps, and on anything carrying pressure use two. A single clamp on a large bore suction hose is the usual reason a coupling blows off under load.

Is 316 stainless worth it over aluminium?

In food areas, salt air or chemical service, yes, and it is usually a specification rather than a choice. In dry general industrial use aluminium does the same job for less, so match the grade to the environment.

Every type and material is in camlock fittings.
