Type B Aluminum Cam & Groove Coupler Design

01
4" Type B Connection Configuration

The Dixon 400-B-AL combines a 4" female cam and groove coupler with a 4" male NPT connection in a single Type B fitting. This configuration provides a direct transition between compatible male cam and groove adapters and female NPT piping or equipment.

Confirm both the nominal cam and groove size and the threaded connection requirement before installation. Proper sizing helps ensure the coupler and male NPT end match the intended mating components throughout the system.

02
356T6 Aluminum Construction

The 400-B-AL is manufactured from 356T6 aluminum for compatible liquid-transfer applications. The aluminum body is precision machined to rigid tolerances and paired with stainless steel cam-arm pins for dependable repeated connection and disconnection.

Inspect the fitting body, cam arms, pins, threads, and sealing surfaces before installation. Damage, deformation, contamination, or excessive wear should be addressed before the coupling is placed into service.

03
Nitrile Gasket & Cam Arms

The female coupler is supplied with a nitrile rubber gasket retained within the gasket recess for proper placement. The gasket seals against the mating male adapter while the cam arms secure the connected components using normal hand pressure.

Inspect the gasket for cuts, flattening, hardening, swelling, or contamination before each installation. Confirm nitrile compatibility with the transferred liquid and replace damaged or deteriorated seals before returning the coupling to service.

04
Male NPT Threaded Connection

The threaded side of the 400-B-AL provides a 4" male NPT connection for installation into compatible female NPT components. Dixon's dimensional drawing confirms the 4" male NPT thread used on this specific part number.

Dixon rates the fitting to a maximum operating pressure of 100 PSI under its stated conditions. The coupling is designed for liquid service and must not be used for compressed air or steam applications.

Installation & Selection Considerations
