Dixon/"Andrews" Cam & Groove
1. Precision machined to rigid tolerances.
2. Durable stainless steel cam arm pins will not rust or bind, for greater strength and safety.
3. Recess holds gasket firmly in place - assures proper placement.
4. Long shank design allows proper banding thus eliminating the major cause of hose damage.
5. Excellent choice for use with industrial hose.
Operation of Cam and Groove:
1. To make connection, simply slide the adapter into the coupler and
with normal hand pressure, press the cam levers down.
2. Uncoupling is as quick and simple as coupling. Just lift the
cam arms and remove the adapter.
Specifications:
• Boss-Lock" and "Andrews" Cam and Groove couplers and adapters are
produced to interchange with all product produced to Mil-C-27487F.
• No standard exists for the 1/2" and 8" fittings, and generally these
sizes do not interchange with other manufacturers.
• For use with Liquids, consult Dixon for specific recommendations

"Boss-Lock" Cam & Groove
"Boss-Lock" Cam & Groove provides a unique patented safety feature.
The Cast-in lugs allow safety clips to be attached once the lugs are passed through slots in the special cam lever arms. These clips prevent the coupler from being unlocked until they are removed, providing a positive locking action.
Pull Ring Safety Clips
Dixon has developed the Pull Ring Safety Clip to simplify the locking action on "Boss-Lock" couplers. No more inserting clips or dangling lanyards, just a twist and it's locked, giving you a low profile positive locking action. Added safety for industrial hose assemblies made with this cam lock fitting.
The Pull Ring Safety Clip will be phased into stock on all "Boss-Lock" couplers as inventory is replaced.
Operation of Cam and Groove:
1. To make connection, simply slide the adapter into the coupler and
with normal hand pressure, press the cam levers down and twist the safety
clip into place.
2. Uncoupling is as quick and simple as coupling. Just lift the
cam arms and remove the adapter.

"EZ Boss-Lock" Cam & Groove
The EZ Boss-Lock is extremely EASY TO OPEN!
The release lever is under your thumb when you want to open the fitting.
ERGONOMIC.
The EZ Boss-Lock is resistant to accidental disconnection when being
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!
The EZ Boss-Lock alerts you if it is not properly engaged.
If the rotating lever is not flush with the handle, it is not properly
engaged.
The EZ Boss-Lock has no sliding pins to jam.
The EZ Boss-Lock’s rotating action helps keep the locking device free
of debris.
The EZ Boss-Lock has no sliding pins to pop open.
The EZ Boss-Lock is designed to protect critical parts from impact
and to withstand rugged use.
The EZ Boss-Lock can be supplied with special shanks custom suited
to your needs.
The EZ Boss-Lock is available with Swaged and PF shank designs, for
hard to couple chemical hoses.
The EZ Boss-Lock is easier to insert into the hose tubes on Tank
Trucks, and easier to use in restricted spaces.
This is due to the smaller maximum O.D. and a more snag free exterior.
The EZ Boss-Lock Cam Arm assemblies can be retrofitted onto Undamaged
Stainless Steel Boss-Lock.
This allows you to protect your investment in Stainless Steel Boss-Lock
couplings while you upgrade.
The EZ Boss-Lock is Made in the USA.

PF (Phono Finish) Cam & Groove
The shank design on these fittings was developed specifically for chemical transport hoses having Crosslinked Polyethylene (XLPE) or Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW) tubes, where shank retention can be a problem when using conventional band clamps.
In testing tank transport hoses from a wide variety of manufacturers, the "Boss-Lock-PF" fitting showed significant improvement over the conventional Cam & Groove shank design.

Notched/Swaged Cam & Groove
The largest advantage of the Notched "EZ Boss-Lock" design is that the
coupling can be removed from a damaged hose by cutting away the ferrule,
without necessarily damaging the fitting. After inspection to determine
its suitability for reuse, it can be installed into another hose using
a new ferrule.
The Notched "EZ Boss-Lock" system allows you to better manage inventories.
You can stock one coupling and two ferrules, and thereby cover the same
hose ranges with less inventory. You must purchase a fitting and
the matching ferrule to create an assembly.
Notched "EZ Boss-Lock" is available on Type C (Coupler x Hose Shank)
and Type E (Adapter x Hose Shank) fittings.
Pressure Ratings:
Recommendations based on the use of mating Dixon fittings at ambient
temperature (70° F) with standard Buna-N Seal installed. For
use at elevated temperature or other unusual operating conditions, consult
the factory.

Safety devices are integral to the coupling and must be working and utilized. The use of supplementary safety clips and Whipchek Safety Cables are recommended. If any problem is detected, couplings must be removed from service immediately.
