Product Description
Salient Features
- Compatible with other camlock types (A, B, C, D, F, etc.) made to the same standards (usually MIL-C-27487 / A-A-59326).
- Requires minimal maintenance and can be easily cleaned and reused multiple times.
- Provides a tight and reliable seal, minimizing leakage during fluid transfer applications.
Versatile Corrosion-Resistant DesignEngineered from high-quality brass, this hose shank adaptor offers outstanding corrosion resistance, making it suitable for water, oil, air, and mild chemical applications. The uniform cylindrical shank connects seamlessly to PVC, rubber, or PU hoses, while the machined hexagonal adaptor ensures reliable compatibility with both industrial and domestic systems.
Precision Engineering and Easy InstallationOur adaptors are polished for a smooth, burr-free finish and designed for full bore flow. The connection process is straightforward-use a clamp or crimp for hoses, and tighten the threaded BSP adaptor with a wrench. PTFE tape can be used for improved sealing if required, ensuring leak-free performance the first time.
FAQ's of Hose Shank Adaptor:
Q: How is the hose shank adaptor installed?
A: Installation involves clamping or crimping the shank end to a compatible hose (PVC, rubber, or PU) and using a wrench to secure the BSP male threaded adaptor to your fitting. For enhanced sealing, PTFE tape may be used on the thread.
Q: What types of fluids and environments are suitable for this adaptor?
A: The adaptor is ideal for transferring water, oil, air, and mild chemicals. Its corrosion-resistant brass construction makes it reliable in both industrial and domestic applications, including fluid and air transfer systems.
Q: When should I use a hose shank adaptor with a corrosion-resistant finish?
A: Use this adaptor whenever you require a reliable, leak-resistant connection in systems exposed to potentially corrosive fluids or demanding conditions, taking advantage of the polished brass surface and robust mechanical fit.
Q: Where can these adaptors be applied?
A: They can be used wherever fluid or air transfer is required, such as in manufacturing, automotive, agricultural, and plumbing environments, as well as in domestic water and air line systems.
Q: What is the process for selecting the correct size?
A: Select the proper inner and outer diameter range (12 mm to 50 mm ID; 16 mm to 60 mm OD) based on your hose specifications and application pressure requirements. Consider also the operating temperature and whether the connection meets the system's BSP threading standard.
Q: What are the benefits of using this hose shank adaptor?
A: Benefits include excellent corrosion resistance, versatility for connecting a wide range of hoses and fluids, ease of installation, and compliance with international standards (BS 21, ISO 228-1), ensuring safe, durable, and dependable performance.
