Dixon BRSS075E 3/4" (20 mm) Brass Camlock Type E Adaptor x Hose Tail

This Dixon camlock is an adaptor with a hose tail (hose shank) in brass. In Dixon's cam and groove system it is the male half of the joint: it slides into a coupler and the coupler cam levers are pressed down to lock it (manufacturer-stated). The store lists 4 sizes, from 3/4" (20 mm) to 2-1/2" (65 mm).

Dixon lists the body as brass grade UNS C38500 to ASTM-B455 (manufacturer-stated). An adaptor carries no seal of its own: the standard seal for this material, nitrile Buna rubber, sits in the mating coupler, and Dixon bases the pressure rating on the seal of the mating part (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 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 E 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 B, C or D coupler of the same size. Check your media against the brass body and the nitrile Buna rubber seal before ordering. Dixon states that dust caps and dust plugs must not be used in any pressure application (manufacturer-stated).
