Dixon NGC100A 1" (25 mm) Glass-Filled Nyglass Camlock Type C Coupler x Hose Tail

This Dixon camlock is a coupler with a hose tail (hose shank) in 30% glass-filled nyglass. In Dixon's cam and groove system it is the female half of the joint, with the cam levers: an adaptor slides in and the levers are pressed down to lock it (manufacturer-stated). The store lists 8 sizes, from 1/2" (15 mm) to 4" (100 mm).

Dixon lists the body as nyglass, 30% glass filled, with 210 stainless steel levers, zinc plated steel pins and pull rings and a EPDM seal (manufacturer-stated).

Dixon rates the other sizes in the store at 125 PSI for 15 and 20 mm; 100 PSI for 32, 40 and 50 mm; 60 PSI for 75 mm; 50 PSI for 100 mm (manufacturer-stated). Dixon's rating table for polypropylene and nyglass has no figure for 25 mm, so ask us for the 25 mm rating before you specify it. Dixon bases its pressure ratings on mating Dixon fittings at an ambient temperature of 21 degrees C with the standard seal, and asks you to consult Dixon for higher temperatures or other unusual conditions (manufacturer-stated).

Dixon states that camlock couplings are designed for use with liquids and must not be used in compressed air or steam applications (manufacturer-stated). Dixon also states that polypropylene and nyglass fittings should not be mixed with aluminium fittings (manufacturer-stated).

Where this product is used

• Quick-connect transfer of liquids such as cooling water, fuels, chemicals, adhesives and dyes through hose, pipe, tubing and tanks (manufacturer-stated).
• Fitting a coupler to the end of a hose, so the hose can be connected to any adaptor of the same size.

Common specifications

Key specifications

Pressure ratings are the figures Dixon prints for this material and size (manufacturer-stated). The 25 mm size is not covered by the 15 to 20 mm and 32 to 50 mm bands in Dixon's polypropylene and nyglass rating table, so no figure is shown for it.

Selecting the right option

Type C has a hose tail, so pick the size to suit your hose and secure the hose with a clamp or band suited to it; the working pressure of the assembly also depends on the hose and the clamp. It connects to a Type A, E or F adaptor of the same size. Do not mix nyglass fittings with aluminium fittings (manufacturer-stated). Check your media against the glass-filled body and the EPDM seal; the polypropylene and nyglass ratings are lower than the metal ones and fall as the size goes up. Dixon states that no standard exists for 15 mm (1/2") fittings and that this size generally does not interchange with other manufacturers (manufacturer-stated). For 25 mm, Dixon does not print a pressure figure in its Australian rating table; ask us before you specify it. Dixon states that dust caps and dust plugs must not be used in any pressure application (manufacturer-stated).
