Description
Keep the thread fixed. Make the hose removable.
A Type A + C camlock set puts a convenient disconnect point between a threaded outlet and a flexible transfer hose.
The Type A adapter stays on your male BSP connection. The Type C coupler stays with the hose, so the cam arms give you access without repeatedly unscrewing the threaded fitting.
Two fittings. Three connection points.
Follow the route from the fixed outlet to your hose.
- 1. Female BSP thread on Type A
- Fits a compatible male BSP outlet or adapter. “Male camlock” describes the grooved mating end, not this screw thread.
- 2. The camlock joint
- The grooved Type A spigot seats inside the Type C socket. Closing both cam arms holds the two fittings together.
- 3. Hose tail on Type C
- Fits inside a compatible hose. Seat the hose fully and secure it with suitable hose clips, chosen for the hose and service.
Supplied: one Type A and one Type C in your selected size. Photographs show the connection design; proportions and mould details vary by size.
Choose the connection, not the outside diameter
Match the thread, hose and camlock size before ordering.
Choose from ½, ¾, 1, 1¼, 1½, 2, 3 or 4 inch nominal sizes. Each set pairs the named Type A and Type C in that size. Check the hose’s internal diameter for the hose tail and the existing male BSP thread for the Type A adapter.
The inch selection is a nominal connection size, not a ruler measurement across the outside of the complete fitting. If you are connecting to another brand of camlock, confirm the actual mating compatibility, particularly for ½-inch fittings. An IBC outlet may need a separate thread adapter.
Connect it securely. Release it safely.
Work with an isolated, depressurised line.
- Inspect both mating surfaces and the coupler seal. Remove dirt and replace damaged parts before assembly.
- Open both cam arms, insert the matching adapter fully, then close both arms evenly by hand. Fit the supplied retaining clips where provided and check the connection before use.
- Before disconnecting, isolate the supply and remove pressure from the line. Release the retaining clips, open the arms and separate the fittings.
Does the set stop the flow when disconnected?
No. These are open-bore fittings without an automatic shut-off valve. Use a suitable separate isolation valve and depressurise the line before opening the camlock joint.
Can I use it for any liquid or pressure?
Check the polypropylene body and seal for your intended liquid, temperature and equipment. No specific working-pressure, temperature or food-contact rating is stated for this set; confirm the required service ratings before installation.

What is BSP?
What is BSP thread size?
BSP (British Standard Pipe) is a nominal pipe-thread size, not a direct measurement of a fitting’s bore or outside diameter. For example, a ½-inch BSP male thread measures about 21mm across its outer thread crests.
These figures are approximate outside diameters of male BSP threads, to help identify the nominal size. They are not inch-to-millimetre unit conversions:
- 3/8" BSP → 16.66 mm
- 1/2" BSP → 20.95 mm
- 3/4" BSP → 26.44 mm
- 1" BSP → 33.25 mm
- 1.25" BSP → 41.91 mm
- 1.5" BSP → 47.80 mm
- 2" BSP → 59.61 mm
- 3" BSP → 87.88 mm
- 4" BSP → 113.03 mm
All our BSP threads are parallel (BSPP, to ISO 228), not tapered.
Measure across the outside of a male thread, then check its pitch and whether it is parallel or tapered. Diameter alone does not confirm compatibility. Check the product’s stated thread specification before connecting.
