Description
Dixon® Cam and Groove Coupler, Type-C, Series: EZ Boss-Lock™, Coupling Fitting/Connector, 3 in Nominal, Female Coupler x Hose Shank End Style, 7 in Length, 125 psi Pressure, 316 Stainless Steel, Domestic
Features:
- 9-29/32 in open x 5-23/32 in closed across cam arm
- In testing tank transport hoses from a wide variety of manufacturers, the Boss-Lock-PF fitting showed significant improvement in hose coupling retention over the conventional cam and groove shank design
- Resistant to accidental disconnection when dragged
- The release lever opens in the direction opposite to the cam arm, so movements that tend to open the release lever also tend to close the cam arm
- Rotating action helps keep the locking device free of debris
- Designed to protect critical parts from impact and to withstand rugged use
- For best results we recommend the use of 3/4 in wide band clamps
- Produced to interchange with all product produced to commercial item description A-A-59326D
- If the rotating lever is not flush with the handle, it is not properly engaged
- Under no circumstances should cam and groove couplings be used for compressed air or steam service!
- Under no circumstances should the EZ boss-lock cam arms be used on any fitting not specifically designed for their use
- Pressure rating recommendations are based on the use of mating Dixon fittings at ambient temperature 70 deg F with a standard seal installed
- Warning: this product contains a chemical known to the state of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm
- Do not use in connection with drinking water
- Wash hands after handling
- Phono finish shank
Applications:
The shank design on these fittings was developed specifically for chemical transport hoses having Cross-linked Polyethylene (XLPE) or Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW) tubes, where shank retention can be a problem when using conventional band clamps
