2PCS Type C Cam and Groove Hose Fitting 3in Socket x 3in Hose ID

Our review of the 2PCS Global Type C Cam and Groove Hose Fitting finds it best suited for users who need a straightforward, reliable connection between hoses and camlock adapters. The bottom line: this pair of fittings offers solid corrosion resistance and a dependable sealing system that handles petroleum, ethanol to E100 and biodiesel to B20, making them a practical choice for light industrial and maintenance use where ease of connection and chemical compatibility matter.

Key Features

• Straight body configuration: Provides a simple inline connection for joining two hoses or connecting a hose to a cam and groove adapter with minimal flow disruption.
• Type C ends: One female cam coupler and one hose shank end allow direct mating to male groove adapters and secure hose attachment respectively.
• Aluminum construction: Resists corrosion and tarnishing for longer service life in outdoor or non-corrosive industrial environments.
• Cam lock levers: Built-in levers quickly lock the male groove adapter into the female coupler for fast, tool-free connections.
• Nitrile butadiene rubber seal: Rated for petroleum service and biofuels, the gasket provides reliable sealing with common fuel types and fluids.

Who It's For

The fittings are aimed at maintenance technicians, small fleet operators, and workshop users who need to connect fuel, oil, or other liquid-handling hoses with cam and groove components. They work well where quick connect/disconnect and chemical compatibility are more important than high-pressure or highly abrasive service.

Those who need stainless steel fittings for aggressive or high-pressure applications, or who require specialized fittings for food-grade or sanitary systems, should consider alternatives better suited to those environments.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good material choice: aluminum body offers corrosion resistance while remaining lightweight.
• Effective sealing: nitrile butadiene rubber gasket handles petroleum, ethanol to E100 and biodiesel to B20.
• Ease of use: cam lock levers enable fast, secure connections without tools.
• Value for money: customers report solid quality relative to the price for routine service tasks.

Cons

• Not intended for highly corrosive or high-pressure systems where stainless steel or specialty seals would be preferable.
• Aluminum can still tarnish over very long exposure in harsh environments despite resistance features.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these fittings compatible with gasoline and diesel?
Yes. The nitrile butadiene rubber seal is rated for petroleum service and compatible with ethanol to E100 and biodiesel to B20.

What does Type C mean in this fitting?
Type C indicates a female cam coupler on one end and a hose shank (barbed) on the other for hose attachment.

Is the aluminum body corrosion resistant?
The aluminum resists corrosion and tarnishing in typical environments but is not as corrosion-resistant as stainless steel for aggressive conditions.
