Dixon Polypropylene camlock, 1/2" (15mm)

This Dixon camlock is a coupler with a female BSP thread in 30% glass-filled polypropylene. 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. It comes in 8 sizes, from 1/2" (15mm) to 4" (100mm).

The body is polypropylene, 30% glass filled, with 210 stainless steel levers, zinc plated steel pins and pull rings and a EPDM seal. The other sizes are rated at 125 PSI for 15 and 20mm; 100 PSI for 32, 40 and 50mm; 60 PSI for 75mm; 50 PSI for 100mm. Pressure ratings are based on mating Dixon fittings at an ambient temperature of 21°C with the standard seal, and asks you to consult Dixon for higher temperatures or other unusual conditions. Camlock couplings are designed for use with liquids and must not be used in compressed air or steam applications.

Key specifications

Choosing the right option

Type D has a female BSP thread, so the mating part needs a male BSP thread; use a thread sealant suited to the media and the material. It connects to a Type A, E or F adaptor of the same size. Do not mix polypropylene fittings with aluminium fittings. 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. Dust caps and dust plugs must not be used in any pressure application.
