Construction Details
The Type B fitting features an iron body with a female cam & groove coupler on one end and male NPT threads on the opposite end.
The female camlock end accepts a compatible male cam & groove adapter. Closing the cam arms draws the mating adapter against the gasket inside the coupler and secures the quick-connect connection.
The male NPT end threads into compatible female NPT pipe fittings, valves, pumps, tank connections, manifolds, or other female-threaded equipment.
Connection Configuration
Female Camlock Coupler
The female cam & groove end accepts a compatible male camlock adapter of the appropriate nominal size. Closing both cam arms secures the mating adapter inside the coupler.
Male NPT
The opposite end provides male National Pipe Taper threads for installation into compatible female NPT piping, fittings, valves, pumps, tanks, manifolds, or other threaded equipment.
How a Type B Camlock Works
Install the male NPT end into the appropriate female threaded connection using a suitable pipe-thread sealant when required for the application.
To make the camlock connection, open both cam arms and insert a compatible male cam & groove adapter into the female coupler. Close both cam arms using normal hand pressure to secure the connection.
For disconnection, safely depressurize and drain the system as appropriate, raise both cam arms, and remove the male adapter from the Type B coupler.

Type B vs. Type F
Type B
Female Camlock x Male NPT
Type B provides a female cam & groove coupler with cam arms combined with a male NPT threaded connection.
Type F
Male Camlock x Male NPT
Type F provides a male cam & groove adapter combined with a male NPT threaded connection. A Type B female coupler can mate with a compatible Type F male adapter of the same camlock size.

Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm both the female camlock size and male NPT thread size before ordering.
- Match the female coupler with a compatible male cam & groove adapter.
- Use an appropriate pipe-thread sealant on the male NPT connection where required.
- Inspect the gasket, cam arms, pins, threads, and mating adapter before use.
- Verify iron, gasket, pressure, temperature, and transferred-media compatibility for the application.
Our hose, fitting, and industrial product specialists can help review your camlock size, NPT thread size, connection configuration, iron material requirements, gasket compatibility, and fluid-transfer application before you order.
