Camlock bulk order

[Cain Harland]

I found a place with real cheap stainless cam locks but they said minimum order 50 and I only want 17.

If its 50 total of mixed types not 50 of each type and shipping is not a deal breaker. Would any be keen on buying some off me?

My 17 is: 3 pots with 2 each (6 type F), 1 pump (2 Type A), counter flow chiller (2 Type E), 3 hoses (6 Type C), 1 (Type E) for a garden hose to camlock adapter.

3 orders like this would be 50 ish

Thanks for the advice there Barry I just did a brew with all new hoses and QDs it worked mint I think your right about being easier than camlock. Got good flow and whirlpool. the only problems
I had was leaks due to badly designed expensive Australian hose clamps. Funny when the cheap Chinese stuff was great.

Weird, what was wrong with them specifically?

For what it's worth I also got my hoseclamps off aliexpress and they work well.

The base for the tightener was just a little to long and square on one end the left a little triangular space where it met the band. I think the size down would have been better. the OD of my hose was at the small end for one size and the big end for the other so I went for the bigger ones. I have ordered some off aliexpress for a fraction of the price where the hose diameter is right in the middle of the size range. To be fair they only leaked significantly when I blasted the garden hose into them. While brewing I way have lost a couple of tea spoons of wort, hardly enough to worry about.

Funnily enough, I only have hose clamps on 1/2 of my hoses the other half have cable ties, never had a leak.
