Hose Shanks

Hose Shanks for Industrial Liquid Transfer

Hose shanks create the connection between hoses and dispensing equipment, helping transfer liquids safely and efficiently throughout industrial, food processing, agricultural, and chemical handling applications. Whether you're building a new hose assembly or replacing worn components, the right hose shank helps improve flow, reduce leaks, and create a more reliable connection.

BASCO offers a wide selection of hose shanks to support a variety of hose types and liquid transfer applications. Available in multiple sizes and connection styles, these fittings help simplify hose assembly while providing dependable performance in demanding environments.

BASCO offers hose shanks designed to create secure, leak-resistant connections between hoses, IBC totes, pumps, valves, and dispensing equipment. Available in a variety of materials, connection styles, and sizes, hose shanks help build reliable hose assemblies for chemical transfer, food processing, petroleum handling, and other liquid transfer applications.

A hose shank connects flexible hose to a fitting, coupling, valve, or adapter. When properly secured with clamps or bands, it helps create a reliable connection for transferring liquids safely and efficiently.
A hose shank attaches directly to the hose, while a camlock fitting provides a quick-connect coupling point. A hose shank (or hose barb) is the ridged or grooved tail end of a fitting, while a camlock (also called a cam and groove coupling) joins two hoses or pipes together without tools. Many hose assemblies use both components together to allow fast connection and disconnection without tools.
Material selection depends on the liquid being transferred and the operating environment. Polypropylene is commonly used for chemical compatibility and corrosion resistance, while stainless steel is often selected for demanding industrial, food-grade, and sanitary applications.

Hose shanks are an important component of liquid transfer systems, helping create dependable connections between hoses and equipment. Whether you need polypropylene or stainless steel fittings for chemical, food, petroleum, or general industrial applications, BASCO offers the hose shanks and camlock couplings needed to build a reliable transfer system.
