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

This Dixon camlock is an adaptor with a female BSP thread in 30% glass-filled nyglass. In Dixon's cam and groove system it is the male half of the joint: it slides into a coupler and the coupler cam levers are pressed down to lock it. It comes in 8 sizes, from 1/2" (15mm) to 4" (100mm).

The body is nyglass, 30% glass filled. An adaptor carries no seal of its own: the standard seal for this material, EPDM, sits in the mating coupler, and the pressure rating is based on the seal of the mating part. 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.

Key specifications

Choosing the right option

Type A 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 B, C or D coupler of the same size. Do not mix nyglass 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. No standard exists for 15mm (1/2") fittings and that this size generally does not interchange with other manufacturers. Dust caps and dust plugs must not be used in any pressure application.
