Description
Type A Polypropylene Camlock is a lightweight and durable quick-connect fitting designed for low-pressure suction or discharge applications. It features a male camlock adapter on one end and a female BSP thread on the other, making it ideal for firefighting pumps, IBC containers, and chemical transfer systems.
Polypropylene camlocks offer excellent resistance to aggressive chemicals and corrosive solvents, though they are not as strong as metal alternatives like stainless steel or aluminium. The cam arms and pins are made of stainless steel, ensuring secure connections.
These fittings are easy to install—simply insert the adapter into a matching coupler and close the handles evenly. However, they are not suitable for use with compressed air or gases, and dust caps should not be used in pressure applications.
