Camlock coupling Type E

Camlock coupling Type E

Camlock Coupling Type E is characterized by its male adapter and hose shank design, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications where a secure and efficient hose connection to a female coupler is necessary. The male adapter end fits into a female coupler (such as Type B, C, or D) and is secured by the cam arms of the female coupler. The hose shank end is designed to be inserted into a hose and secured with a hose clamp or ferrule.

• Type E adapters are normally used with Type C couplers, but can be used with Type B and D couplers or Type DC (Dust Cap) of identical size.
• Polished Hose Barb, for easy hose connection.

Camlock Standards

Camlock couplings, also known as cam and groove couplings, are standardized under several international and national standards. The primary standards include:

1. MIL-C-27487: This is the original military specification developed in the United States, which many commercial camlock couplings are designed to meet.
2. EN 14420-7 (formerly DIN 2828): This European standard specifies the dimensions, materials, and performance requirements for cam and groove couplings. It ensures compatibility and interchangeability among manufacturers in Europe.
3. A-A-59326: This is a commercial item description (CID) published by the General Services Administration (GSA) in the United States, which has replaced the MIL-C-27487 standard for new designs and procurements. It maintains the requirements for dimensions, materials, and performance similar to MIL-C-27487.

These standards ensure that camlock couplings from different manufacturers can be used interchangeably and meet certain safety and performance criteria. They cover various aspects such as material types (e.g., aluminum, brass, stainless steel, and polypropylene), pressure ratings, and dimensional tolerances.

Description of Camlock Coupling Type E

• Components: Type E consists of a male adapter and a hose shank. The male adapter end fits into a female coupler (such as Type B, C, or D) and is secured by the cam arms of the female coupler.
• Connection: The hose shank end is designed to be inserted into a hose and secured with a hose clamp or ferrule.
• Usage: Type E is typically used when a hose needs to be quickly and securely connected to a female coupler.

Key Features

• Male Adapter: The male adapter end fits into the female coupler, where the cam arms lock it in place, providing a secure connection.
• Hose Shank: The hose shank end is inserted into a hose, providing a strong attachment point when secured properly with a hose clamp or ferrule.
• Materials: Available in various materials such as aluminum, brass, stainless steel, and polypropylene to suit different application requirements and fluid compatibilities.

Applications

• Industries: Commonly used in industries such as agriculture, chemicals, petroleum, and water treatment.
• Function: Ideal for applications where a quick connect/disconnect is necessary, especially when connecting hoses to pipes or other threaded fittings.
