4" Type DC Camlock End Cap

Camlock fittings, also referred to as cam and groove couplings, are quick-connect hose systems designed for the fast connection and disconnection of hoses or pipes in a wide range of fluid handling applications. These fittings are made up of two primary parts: a male adapter and a female coupler.

The male adapter features a groove around its circumference, while the female coupler includes cam arms. Pulling back the cam arms allows the male adapter to slot in; once released, the arms snap into place, forming a tight, secure connection.

These fittings are widely used across industries such as agriculture, petroleum, chemical, and food processing, where regular hose connection changes are necessary without compromising safety or operational efficiency. Camlock fittings are available in several materials including aluminium, stainless steel, brass, and polypropylene. These particular fittings are constructed from PP (polypropylene), so please ensure this material suits your intended application.

Key advantages of camlock fittings include:

• Fast and Efficient Connections: Designed for rapid attachment and removal, saving time during setup, breakdown, or maintenance processes.
• Leak-Resistant Seal: A secure seal minimises the risk of leaks, crucial for maintaining fluid integrity and safety.
• Cross-Compatibility: These fittings are built to be compatible across various types and sizes, allowing flexible integration within different systems.

This is a 4" Type DC camlock fitting. Type DC camlocks feature a female camlock coupling with a sealed end. Also known as dust caps, these fittings are used to seal the ends of camlock couplers when not in operation, preventing contamination and physical damage.
