Construction Details
The Type AA fitting features a durable stainless steel spool-style body with a male cam & groove adapter connection on both ends.
Each male camlock end inserts into a compatible female cam & groove coupler. The cam arms on the mating female coupler close around the adapter and secure the connection against the coupler gasket.
Because both ends use male camlock connections, the Type AA spool adapter can join two female camlock couplers without adding threaded pipe fittings or hose-shank transitions.
Connection Configuration
Male Camlock Adapter - Side 1
The first male cam & groove end inserts into a compatible female camlock coupler and is secured by the cam arms on that mating coupler.
Male Camlock Adapter - Side 2
The opposite end provides a second male cam & groove adapter for connection to another compatible female camlock coupler.
How a Type AA Spool Adapter Works
Insert one male camlock end into a compatible female cam & groove coupler and close both cam arms on the female coupler using normal hand pressure.
Connect the opposite male camlock end to the second compatible female coupler and close its cam arms to complete the connection.
Before disconnecting either side, safely depressurize and drain the system as appropriate. Open the cam arms only after pressure has been relieved.

Type AA Connection Design
Male-to-Male Camlock Connection
Type AA provides male cam & groove adapter connections on both ends, allowing two compatible female camlock couplers to be connected together.
Spool Adapter Configuration
The spool-style configuration provides a direct camlock-to-camlock transition while preserving quick-connect functionality on both ends of the assembly.
Type AA vs. Type DD
Type AA
Male Camlock x Male Camlock
Type AA uses male cam & groove adapter connections on both ends and is designed to connect two compatible female camlock couplers.
Type DD
Female Camlock x Female Camlock
Type DD uses female cam & groove coupler connections on both ends and is designed to connect two compatible male camlock adapters.
Common Applications
Water & Industrial Transfer
- Water-transfer systems
- Agricultural transfer equipment
- Pump connections
- Tank and tote connections
- Construction and dewatering systems
- Industrial hose assemblies
Corrosion-Resistant Fluid Handling
- Compatible chemical-transfer systems
- Petroleum-transfer applications
- Marine and washdown applications
- Process and plant connections
- Tank-transfer equipment
- General industrial fluid handling
Why Stainless Steel?
Stainless steel provides corrosion resistance and durability for demanding hose, piping, and fluid-transfer applications.
This construction can be useful where moisture, outdoor exposure, washdown, compatible chemicals, or corrosive operating environments make material resistance an important consideration.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm both mating female camlock connections before ordering.
- Match each male adapter end with a compatible female cam & groove coupler.
- Inspect the adapter body, mating gaskets, cam arms, and pins before use.
- Never connect or disconnect cam & groove fittings while the system is pressurized.
- Verify stainless steel, gasket, pressure, temperature, and transferred-media compatibility before installation.
Our hose, fitting, and industrial product specialists can help review your male camlock connections, mating female couplers, spool-adapter configuration, stainless steel material requirements, gasket compatibility, and fluid-transfer application before you order.
