Camlock Male Fitting - Female Threaded in Aluminium - Type A

The Type A Aluminium Camlock Fitting Male-Female Threaded (Reference: 3685) represents excellence in quick coupling for industrial and professional applications. This essential component of modern piping systems offers an efficient and secure method for quickly connecting and disconnecting your lines, meeting the most stringent requirements in terms of reliability and performance.

Applications and Fields of Use

The Type A Camlock fitting finds its place in a multitude of professional and industrial applications. It excels particularly in chemical product transfer, industrial cooling systems, and water treatment installations. Agricultural professionals appreciate it for its capabilities in high-performance irrigation systems and spraying equipment.

In the oil and gas sector, this fitting ensures secure connections for pressurised fluids. Food and pharmaceutical industries also benefit from its hygienic design and compliance with sanitary standards. For private users, it represents an ideal solution for sophisticated irrigation systems, swimming pools, and rainwater harvesting installations.

Technical Specifications and Innovative Design

The design of the Type A Camlock fitting is based on a high-performance aluminium alloy that guarantees exceptional corrosion resistance while maintaining remarkable lightness. This characteristic considerably reduces fatigue during repeated handling and facilitates on-site transport.

The integrated lever cam system enables quick and secure locking in just a few seconds. The male-female threaded configuration offers maximum versatility to adapt to different installation configurations. Elastomer seals ensure perfect tightness even under high pressure.

Available in a complete range of diameters from 1/2'' to 6'', this fitting adapts precisely to the specific needs of each application. The precision-machined surface ensures perfect compatibility with international ISO and DIN standards.

Installation and Practical Use

The installation of the Type A Camlock fitting is distinguished by its remarkable simplicity. No specialised tools are required to make the connection: simply insert the corresponding end and actuate the cam levers to obtain a perfectly secure assembly. This speed of installation represents a considerable time saving during maintenance operations or installation reconfigurations.

To ensure optimal service life, regularly check the condition of the seals and clean the contact surfaces after each use. Light greasing of the cam mechanisms with a food-grade compatible grease will significantly extend the product's service life.

During storage, protect the threads with the provided caps to avoid any contamination. The thermal resistance of the fitting allows use over an extended temperature range, from -30°C to +150°C depending on the type of seal used.

Expert Advice and Performance Optimisation

To maximise the efficiency of your installation, pair this Type A Camlock fitting with our complementary fittings from the Multitanks range. Type B, C, D, E and F fittings allow you to create custom configurations to meet all coupling needs.

An expert tip: when using with aggressive chemical fluids, systematically check the compatibility of the seals with the product being conveyed. Our Viton or EPDM seals offer superior chemical resistance for demanding applications.

For temporary installations or construction sites, consider using safety straps to prevent accidental disconnection under mechanical stress. In dusty environments, preventive cleaning with compressed air before each connection ensures optimal assembly.

Seasonal advice: during freezing periods, systematically drain the fittings to avoid deformations caused by the expansion of frozen water. This simple precaution preserves the structural integrity of the fitting and ensures its long-term reliability.
