1.25" Type DP Camlock Dust Plug

Camlock fittings, also referred to as cam and groove couplings, are quick-connect hose connectors used for the fast and efficient linking and unlinking of hoses or pipes across a range of fluid transfer applications. Each fitting consists of two main parts: a male adaptor and a female coupler.

The male adaptor features a groove ring around its outer edge, while the female coupler is equipped with cam arms. Pulling back the arms allows the male adaptor to be inserted; once released, the arms lock into place, forming a secure, leak-resistant connection.

These fittings are widely utilised in sectors such as agriculture, chemicals, petroleum, and food processing—industries where frequent connecting and disconnecting is essential without sacrificing safety or operational efficiency. Camlock couplings are available in several materials including aluminium, stainless steel, brass, and polypropylene. These particular camlocks are made from PP (polypropylene); please ensure this material is appropriate for your application.

Key advantages of camlock fittings include:

• Fast and Simple Connection: Camlocks allow quick attachment and removal of hoses or pipes, saving valuable time during setup, maintenance, or system changes.
  
• Reliable Leak Prevention: When securely connected, camlock fittings form a tight seal, effectively preventing fluid leakage, spills, and contamination—vital for maintaining system integrity and safety.
  
• Universal Compatibility: Designed for interchangeability within the same size and type, camlocks ensure flexible system integration and simplify replacements or upgrades.

This fitting is a 1.25" Type DP camlock. Type DP camlocks are male-end dust plugs designed to cap the ends of camlock adapters. Commonly used when couplings are not in use, they provide protection against dirt, dust, and damage, helping to preserve the cleanliness and function of fluid systems.
