¾" Type DC Camlock Adapter

Camlock fittings, often referred to as cam and groove couplings, are quick-connect hose couplings designed for fast and efficient connection and disconnection of hoses or pipes across a range of fluid handling systems. These fittings are composed of two primary elements: a male adaptor and a female coupler.

The male adaptor features a groove ring (inspiring the term "cam and groove"), while the female coupler is equipped with cam arms. When pulled back, these arms allow the male adaptor to slide in. Releasing the arms locks the adaptor into place, forming a secure seal.

Camlock fittings are widely used in sectors such as agriculture, petrochemical, chemical processing, and food production, where quick and reliable hose or pipe changes are essential. They are available in several materials including aluminium, stainless steel, brass, and polypropylene. The camlock fittings described here are made from polypropylene (PP); please ensure this material is appropriate for your specific application.

Advantages of camlock fittings include:

• Fast and Simple Connection: Camlock couplings streamline the process of joining or disconnecting hoses and pipes, significantly reducing downtime during equipment maintenance or configuration changes.
  
• Reliable Sealing: Once connected, these fittings provide a tight seal, helping to prevent leaks, spills, or contamination—essential for environments where cleanliness and fluid control are critical.
  
• Universal Compatibility: Camlock fittings are manufactured to standard dimensions within each size and type, allowing them to be easily interchanged across systems and equipment for added versatility and ease of use.

This listing features a Type DC ¾" camlock fitting. Type DC camlocks are stop-end fittings with a female camlock end. Also known as dust caps, they are used to securely close and protect the ends of camlock couplers when not in operation, helping to prevent ingress of dirt, debris, or contaminants.
