1/2" Camlock Coupling Type D

Camlock fittings, also referred to as cam and groove couplings, are quick-connect hose fittings designed for the rapid joining and separation of hoses or pipes in numerous fluid transfer applications. They consist of two primary parts: a male adapter and a female coupler.

The male adapter features a groove-ring around its circumference, inspiring the name "cam and groove," while the female coupler includes cam arms that retract to allow insertion of the male adapter. Releasing the cam arms locks the fitting securely in place, ensuring a reliable connection.

Frequently used in sectors such as agriculture, petroleum, chemical, and food processing, camlock fittings accommodate repeated connections and disconnections without compromising safety or efficiency. Available in materials like aluminium, stainless steel, brass, and polypropylene, these fittings are made from polypropylene (PP). Please verify that this material suits your specific application requirements.

Advantages of Camlock Fittings:

• Fast and Simple Connection: Enables quick coupling and uncoupling of hoses or pipes, saving time during assembly and disassembly, which is particularly useful in applications needing frequent maintenance or changes.
• Secure Sealing: When connected correctly, they provide a tight, leak-proof seal that minimises the risk of spills and contamination, essential for preserving fluid integrity and safety.
• Interchangeability: Designed to be compatible within corresponding sizes and types, facilitating flexibility and ease in equipment setup, maintenance, and replacement.

This is a 1/2" Type D camlock fitting, characterised by a female camlock coupler and a female BSP threaded end of the same size. Type D camlocks are commonly employed for connecting hoses or pipes to male threaded fittings, and they are prevalent in plumbing, irrigation, and various industrial fluid systems.
