Dixon BRSS300C-S 3" (75 mm) Brass Camlock Type C Coupler x Hose Tail

This Dixon camlock is a coupler with a hose tail (hose shank) in brass. In Dixon's cam and groove system it is the female half of the joint, with the cam levers: an adaptor slides in and the levers are pressed down to lock it (manufacturer-stated). The store lists 5 sizes, from 3/4" (20 mm) to 3" (75 mm).

Dixon lists the body as brass grade UNS C38500 to ASTM-B455, with 210 stainless steel levers, zinc plated steel pins and pull rings and a nitrile Buna rubber seal (manufacturer-stated).

Dixon rates the sizes in the store at 250 PSI for 20, 25 and 32 mm; 150 PSI for 65 mm (manufacturer-stated). Dixon bases its pressure ratings on mating Dixon fittings at an ambient temperature of 21 degrees C with the standard seal, and asks you to consult Dixon for higher temperatures or other unusual conditions (manufacturer-stated). Dixon lists a 75 mm brass Type C coupler as BRSS300C at 125 PSI; the store part number BRSS300C-S does not appear in Dixon's documents, so ask us to confirm its rating.

Dixon states that camlock couplings are designed for use with liquids and must not be used in compressed air or steam applications (manufacturer-stated).

Common specifications

Key specifications

Pressure ratings are the figures Dixon prints for this material and size (manufacturer-stated).

Selecting the right option

Type C has a hose tail, so pick the size to suit your hose and secure the hose with a clamp or band suited to it; the working pressure of the assembly also depends on the hose and the clamp. It connects to a Type A, E or F adaptor of the same size. Check your media against the brass body and the nitrile Buna rubber seal before ordering. The 75 mm part number in the store, BRSS300C-S, does not appear in Dixon's documents (Dixon lists BRSS300C), so confirm it with us before ordering. Dixon states that dust caps and dust plugs must not be used in any pressure application (manufacturer-stated).
