Female Camlock Fitting - Female BSP Thread in Aluminium - Type D

Female Camlock Fitting Type D Aluminium BSP (Reference: 3681) - In the demanding world of industrial connections, this Type D Camlock fitting represents technical excellence and proven reliability. Manufactured in high-quality aluminium by Multitanks, it combines robustness, lightness and exceptional corrosion resistance. Its female-to-female interface with BSP thread makes it an essential component for all your professional connection projects.

Applications and benefits of the Type D

This Type D Camlock fitting is ideal for connecting two flexible hoses or for connecting a hose to equipment fitted with a female BSP thread. Professionals in the chemical industry, water treatment, agriculture and petroleum logistics widely adopt it for its versatility. Individuals equipped with IBC tanks, farmers managing irrigation, or industrial cleaning companies find in this fitting the perfect solution for their fluid transfers.

Its double female design allows a direct connection between two female elements, eliminating the need for additional adapters. The cam locking system ensures a perfect seal while allowing quick connections and disconnections, even under residual pressure.

Technical specifications and innovation

The aluminium selected for this Camlock fitting guarantees an optimal weight-to-resistance ratio. Unlike cast iron or steel fittings, this aluminium version offers superior corrosion resistance, particularly appreciated in humid or chemically aggressive environments. The BSP (British Standard Pipe) thread ensures universal compatibility with the majority of European industrial equipment.

Available dimensions range from 1/2'' to 6'', covering all needs, from small domestic installations to heavy industrial applications. Each fitting undergoes rigorous quality control including leak tests, mechanical resistance tests and dimensional tolerance checks. This quality approach guarantees consistent performance and an extended service life, even in the most severe operating conditions.

Installation and practical use

Installing a Type D Camlock fitting requires no specific tooling. Simply insert the male end into the female part until fully engaged, then fold down the locking levers. This operation, achievable in a few seconds, ensures a perfectly sealed and secure connection.

To maintain optimal performance, regular cleaning of the contact surfaces is essential, particularly after handling viscous or particle-laden fluids. Aluminium cleans easily with clear water or mild solvents. Periodically check the condition of the O-rings to prevent leaks. In case of wear, these seals can be easily replaced without any special tooling.

Storage in a dry environment away from shocks preserves the longevity of the fitting. Avoid extreme temperatures and protect the threads with protective caps during prolonged storage.

Expert tips and product synergies

To optimise your installation, pair this Type D fitting with other elements from the Multitanks Camlock range: Type A fittings (male-female), Type B (female-male), Type C (female-female with locks), or Type E and F for caps. This system approach allows you to create modular and scalable transfer networks.

IBC tank professionals often favour the combination of a Type D fitting + Camlock butterfly valve to precisely control flow rates. In agriculture, combine it with our food-grade PVC hoses for an efficient and hygienic irrigation system. For chemical applications, always check the compatibility of materials with the fluid being transported.

Pro tip: marking and traceability of your fittings according to the fluids transported avoids cross-contamination. Favour stock rotation to keep your fittings in perfect condition. In an industrial environment, keep a stock of spare seals to ensure production continuity.
