1 in. Female Coupler x Hose Shank - Type C Coupler Stainless Steel Camlock is designed to fit a 1 inch Inside Diameter (ID) hose. Since you're looking at a 1 in. Type C, the ribbed shank is engineered to slide snugly into a hose with a 1" internal opening.
Why ID (Inside Diameter) Matters
Why ID (Inside Diameter) Matters
The outside diameter (OD) of your hose doesn't affect which camlock you buy, but the Inside Diameter is critical because:
-
The shank must be tight enough to create a seal.
-
If your hose ID is even slightly larger (e.g., 1-1/4"), a 1" Type C will be too loose and will leak or blow off under pressure.
-
If your hose ID is smaller (e.g., 3/4"), you won't be able to force the shank in without damaging the hose.
