Construction Details
The Type B fitting features a durable polypropylene body with a female cam & groove coupler on one end and male NPT threads on the opposite end.
The female camlock side 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, and 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 connection to compatible female NPT piping, fittings, valves, pumps, tanks, manifolds, and other threaded components.
How a Type B Camlock Works
Install the male NPT end into the appropriate female threaded connection using a thread-sealing method suitable for polypropylene fittings and the intended application.
To make the camlock connection, open both cam arms and insert a compatible male cam & groove adapter into the Type B female coupler. Close both cam arms using normal hand pressure to secure the connection.
For disconnection, safely depressurize and drain the system as appropriate before opening the cam arms and removing the mating male adapter.

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 connection. Properly sized Type B and Type F fittings can connect directly through their cam & groove ends.

Polypropylene Cam & Groove Benefits
Polypropylene cam & groove fittings provide a lightweight alternative to metal camlocks while offering useful corrosion resistance for compatible applications.
The nonmetallic construction can be especially useful in water, irrigation, agricultural, and compatible chemical-transfer systems where polypropylene is suitable for the transferred media and operating conditions.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the female camlock size and male NPT thread size required for your system before ordering.
- Match the Type B female coupler with a compatible male cam & groove adapter.
- Use a thread-sealing method suitable for polypropylene fittings and avoid overtightening the threaded connection.
- Inspect the gasket, cam arms, pins, threads, and mating adapter before use.
- Verify polypropylene, gasket, pressure, temperature, and transferred-media compatibility before installation.
Our hose, fitting, and industrial product specialists can help review your camlock size, NPT thread size, connection configuration, polypropylene material requirements, mating adapter requirements, chemical compatibility, and fluid-transfer application before you order.
