Male Camlock Fitting - Aluminum Hose Shank - Type E

Male Camlock Fitting - Aluminum Hose Shank - Type E (Reference: 3684) is an essential component for any installation requiring fast and reliable connections. This professional fitting combines the proven technology of Camlock systems with the superior quality of aluminum, offering a durable and high-performance solution for your most demanding projects.

Applications and benefits of the Type E fitting

The Camlock Type E fitting finds its place in multiple professional environments: agriculture for irrigation and liquid transfer, chemical industry for safe handling of products, water treatment for filtration and distribution systems. Its versatility makes it the ideal ally for construction professionals, intensive agriculture and industry.

The hose shank greatly facilitates connection with flexible hoses, ensuring a perfect seal with no risk of accidental disconnection. This feature proves particularly advantageous during temporary installations or regular maintenance, allowing considerable time savings on each intervention.

Technical specifications and innovation

Made from high-quality aluminum, this Type E fitting offers exceptional corrosion resistance while maintaining a reduced weight. This unique combination facilitates transport and installation, reducing fatigue during repetitive assembly operations. Aluminum also has the advantage of being compatible with a wide range of fluids, from water to non-aggressive chemicals.

The available size range from 1/2'' to 6'' meets all flow and pressure requirements. Each dimension is precisely machined to guarantee a perfect fit with international standards. The integrated cam system ensures secure locking in seconds, without requiring specific tools or excessive force.

The design of the hose shank allows for optimal insertion into hoses, creating maximum grip surface that prevents any slipping even under high pressure. This technical feature is crucial for maintaining system integrity during pressure or temperature variations.

Installation and optimal use

Installing the Camlock Type E fitting is carried out in two simple steps: insertion of the hose shank into the flexible hose and tightening of the clamp, then connection of the male Camlock part onto the corresponding female element. Locking is achieved by simply rotating the cams to the closed position, producing a characteristic click that confirms the secure connection.

To ensure the longevity of the fitting, it is recommended to regularly check the condition of the seals and clean the contact surfaces after each intensive use. Aluminum requires no special treatment, but a rinse with clean water is sufficient to remove residues and prevent any accumulation.

Disconnection is equally simple by releasing the cams and pulling the two parts of the fitting apart. This ease of use allows rapid configuration changes without lengthy equipment downtime, a major asset in industrial environments where time is critical.

Expert tips and product synergies

To maximize the efficiency of your installation, combine this Type E fitting with other Camlock elements from the Multitanks range: Type A female fittings, BSP adapters, caps and dust covers. This systematic approach guarantees perfect compatibility and optimal performance across your entire network.

In the agricultural field, this fitting proves particularly effective with irrigation systems and IBC 1000L tanks. The combination with our S60x6 valves allows the creation of modular and scalable distribution systems. For industrial applications, the combination with our Express and Guillemin fittings offers maximum versatility.

An expert tip: marking and traceability of your fittings according to their specific use (drinking water, chemicals, etc.) to avoid any cross-contamination. Also build up a stock of spare parts (seals, cams) to ensure service continuity during preventive maintenance.

During winter periods, make sure to completely drain the fittings to prevent damage from freezing. Even though aluminum withstands extreme temperatures, the expansion of frozen water can damage the seals.
