Camlock Coupling Type F

Camlock Coupling Type F

Camlock Coupling Type F is characterized by its male adapter and male threaded end, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications where a secure and efficient connection between a hose and a male-threaded pipe or fitting is necessary. The male adapter end fits into a female coupler (such as Type B, C, or D) and is secured by the cam arms of the female coupler. The male threaded end allows it to be screwed into a female-threaded fitting, pipe, or valve.

• Type F adapters are normally used with Type B couplers, but can also be used with Type C and D couplers or DC (Dust Cap) of identical size.

Camlock Standards

Camlock couplings, also known as cam and groove couplings, are standardized under several international and national standards. The primary standards include:

1. MIL-C-27487: This is the original military specification developed in the United States, which many commercial camlock couplings are designed to meet.
2. EN 14420-7 (formerly DIN 2828): This European standard specifies the dimensions, materials, and performance requirements for cam and groove couplings. It ensures compatibility and interchangeability among manufacturers in Europe.
3. A-A-59326: This is a commercial item description (CID) published by the General Services Administration (GSA) in the United States, which has replaced the MIL-C-27487 standard for new designs and procurements. It maintains the requirements for dimensions, materials, and performance similar to MIL-C-27487.

These standards ensure that camlock couplings from different manufacturers can be used interchangeably and meet certain safety and performance criteria. They cover various aspects such as material types (e.g., aluminum, brass, stainless steel, and polypropylene), pressure ratings, and dimensional tolerances.

Description of Camlock Coupling Type F

• Components: Type F consists of a male adapter and a male thread. The male adapter end fits into a female coupler (such as Type B, C, or D) and is secured by the cam arms of the female coupler.
• Connection: The male threaded end allows it to be screwed into a female-threaded fitting, pipe, or valve.
• Usage: Type F is typically used when a male-threaded pipe or fitting needs to be quickly and securely connected to a female coupler.

Key Features

• Male Adapter: The male adapter end fits into the female coupler, where the cam arms lock it in place, ensuring a secure and leak-free connection.
• Male Thread: The male threaded end (usually NPT or BSP) allows for connection to a corresponding female-threaded fitting or pipe.
• Materials: Available in various materials including aluminum, brass, stainless steel, and polypropylene to meet different application needs and fluid compatibilities.

Applications

• Industries: Commonly used in industries such as agriculture, chemicals, petroleum, water treatment, and food processing.
• Function: Ideal for applications requiring a quick and secure connection between a hose and a male-threaded pipe or fitting.
