Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the layflat hose is of the correct size to fit snugly onto the barb of the coupling.
- Slide the hose completely over the barb.
- Secure the hose to the barb using a suitable hose clamp (not included) for extra security, especially for higher flow rates or pressure.
- Align the cam arms of the corresponding coupling (Type E) with the grooves on the Type C coupling.
- Push the couplings together and engage the cam levers by rotating them downwards until they lock firmly into place.
Compatibility:
This coupling is designed for layflat hoses with a compatible internal diameter that matches the barb size. Always verify the barb size (e.g., 1", 1.5", 2") against your layflat hose specification. It is intended for use with other cam and groove fittings of the same size and type (Type C+E).
Care:
- Periodically inspect the coupling for any signs of damage or wear.
- Clean the couplings with a damp cloth to remove dirt or debris that might interfere with the cam action or seal.
- Store in a dry place when not in use to prolong material life.
- Avoid exposing to excessive heat or harsh chemicals that could degrade polypropylene.
