Dixon RD100EZA 1" (25 mm) Stainless EZ Boss-Lock Type D Coupler x Female BSP

This Dixon EZ Boss-Lock camlock is a Type D coupler with a female BSP thread, made from 316 stainless steel (CF8M) with a locking handle system that replaces clamps, wire, clips and pins (manufacturer-stated). The store lists 8 sizes, from 1/2" (15 mm) to 4" (100 mm).

Dixon describes the locking action as follows: closing the handles engages the lock, and the release lever sits under your thumb. The release lever opens in the direction opposite to the cam arms, and if the rotating lever is not flush with the handle the coupler is not properly engaged (manufacturer-stated).

Dixon rates the sizes in the store at 250 PSI for 20, 25, 32, 40 and 50 mm; 150 PSI for 15 mm; 125 PSI for 75 mm; 100 PSI for 100 mm (manufacturer-stated). 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).

Where this product is used

• Quick-connect transfer of liquids through hose, pipe, tubing and tanks where a coupler that locks without separate clips or pins is wanted (manufacturer-stated).
• Hoses that are dragged or moved in service: Dixon describes the design as resistant to accidental disconnection when being dragged (manufacturer-stated).
• Connecting a hose or pipe with a male BSP thread to a camlock adaptor.

Common specifications

Key specifications

Pressure ratings are the figures Dixon prints for each size (manufacturer-stated). In Dixon's catalogue the 15 mm and 20 mm rows of the EZ Boss-Lock table carry a footnote mark, but the footnote text is not printed, so the footnote is not repeated here.

Selecting the right option

A Type D coupler has a female BSP thread, so the mating part needs a male BSP thread; use a thread sealant suited to the media. It connects to a Type A, E or F adaptor of the same size. Dixon states that the EZ Boss-Lock arms are not to be fitted on any other fitting that is not specifically produced for their use (manufacturer-stated). Check your media against the stainless steel body and the seal before ordering. Dixon states that dust caps and dust plugs must not be used in any pressure application (manufacturer-stated).
