About 3" X 3" Aluminum Camlock Fitting - Hose Coupler

Type "F" aluminum male camlock coupler to male NPT threads. Under no circumstances should cam and groove couplings be used for compressed air or steam service! Warning: Aluminum cam & groove fittings should not be mixed with plastic fittings. How it works: To make a connection, simply slide the male camlock adapter into the female camlock coupling and with normal hand pressure, press the cam levers down. Uncoupling is as quick and simple as coupling. Just lift the cam arms and remove the adapter. Cam and groove couplings, also called camlock fittings or quick connect fittings, are used in most industries as a hose connection to avoid leakage. The cam lock type of coupling is popular because it is considered to be a simple and economical way to reconnect and disconnect. NPT Threads National Pipe Tapered (NPT) is common in plumbing and some industrial uses. Sometimes referred to as “pipe thread” because pvc, metal and galvanize pipes are typically threaded in NPT. As its name implies, this is a tapered thread so that the outside diameter of the male (ODM) gets smaller towards the end of the fitting and the inside diameter of the female narrows with depth. As the two fittings are threaded together the opposite tapers force thread friction and makes the seal without the use of a gasket.
