Stainless Steel Type C Camlock - 1/2" Female Camlock x 1/2" Hose Barb (Includes Installed Gasket) Use this barbed fitting to connect onto a male camlock. Add hose to your barb for quick connecting and disconnecting when you need it. The barb is 3/8" ID for very little reduction in flow. Compatible with Type A, E, F & Dust Plug.Note Regarding "Fit":Some may find that occasionally the male and female camlocks can be a little more difficult to connect than usual from time to time. Specifically, that it can take some more effort to close the locking cam arms. In many cases this can be attributed to manufacturing tolerances from lot to lot. Something as simple as the thickness of the gasket can affect how much pressure is needed to push on the cam arms.Specifications: Made out of 304 Stainless Steel Female Camlock Designed for use with 1/2" ID tubing If you find your mating pair to be difficult to close, consider the following tips before requesting a replacement or return: Be sure to close both cam arms simultaneously, not one at a time While closing the cam arms, push the two fittings together to compress the gasket slightly A small amount of lubricant on the cams where the grooves contact helps (anything food grade such as vasoline to keg lube will work) Break in the gaskets by leaving the mating pair connected for a few days, making it easier to reconnect in the future
