FBSP x Female Stainless Steel Camlock TYPE D

A Type D camlock is a female coupler with a female BSP thread, so it screws onto a male threaded outlet and presents the lever end of the connection. In 316 stainless it suits process vessels, brewery and dairy outlets, and any male threaded point that has to stay clean and corrosion free.

Key features

• Sizes 20 mm to 100 mm (20 mm, 25 mm, 32 mm, 40 mm, 50 mm, 65 mm, 80 mm, 100 mm)
• Cam and groove Type D, female coupler with a female BSP thread
• 316 stainless steel, the marine and food grade
• NBR (Buna) gasket rated to 100°C
• Approved in food industry service as well as water, oil and powders
• Survives salt air, wash down chemicals and repeated steam cleaning
• Connects and disconnects by hand in seconds, with no tools

Applications

• Male threaded pump and tank outlets
• Pipework take off points
• Fixed installations receiving a hose

Compatibility and fitting

• It accepts a Type A, E or F male adapter, and is closed with a dust plug.
• Sizes must match: a 50 mm coupler only takes a 50 mm adapter
• 316 tolerates the caustic and acid cleaners used in food and beverage plants
• Keep stainless couplings away from aluminium ones on the same wet line to avoid galvanic attack
• Stainless is heavy at large bores, so support the hose rather than letting the coupling carry it
• Matching hose is in the rubber hose and PVC hose ranges

Type B or Type D on my tank?

It depends only on the thread the tank presents. A male thread on the tank takes a Type D, which has a female thread. A female port takes a Type B. Check the thread before ordering, not after.

Is 316 stainless worth it over aluminium?

In food areas, salt air or chemical service, yes, and it is usually a specification rather than a choice. In dry general industrial use aluminium does the same job for less, so match the grade to the environment.

Every type and material is in camlock fittings.
