4" Type DP Camlock Dust Plug

Camlock fittings, also known as cam and groove couplings, are efficient quick-connect solutions for joining and disconnecting hoses or pipes across a wide range of fluid handling applications. These fittings consist of two primary parts: a male adaptor and a female coupler.

The male adaptor features a circumferential groove, which interlocks with the cam arms on the female coupler. When the arms are pulled back, the adaptor slides in easily, and once released, the arms lock into place to ensure a secure, leak-resistant connection.

Commonly used in agriculture, chemical processing, fuel handling, and food industries, camlock fittings are favoured for their simplicity and reliability. They are available in various materials, including aluminium, stainless steel, brass, and polypropylene. This particular fitting is made of polypropylene (PP); please ensure this material is suitable for your specific application.

Key advantages of camlock fittings include:

• Fast, Tool-Free Connection: Enables swift hose or pipe connection and disconnection without the need for tools, making them ideal for dynamic environments and maintenance tasks.
• Reliable Seal: Creates a strong, leak-proof seal, minimising the chance of fluid loss or contamination—essential in critical handling systems.
• System Compatibility: Designed for compatibility within the same size and type range, allowing for flexible integration across various systems and components.

This is a 4" Type DP camlock fitting. Type DP camlocks are male-ended plugs designed to cap off the ends of female couplers. Commonly referred to as dust plugs, these fittings are used to seal off unused connections, helping to prevent dirt, debris, and fluid ingress when the system is not in use.
