Construction Details
The Type D fitting features a durable polypropylene body with a female cam & groove coupler on one end and female NPT threads on the opposite end.
The female camlock side accepts a compatible male cam & groove adapter. Closing the cam arms secures the mating adapter against the gasket inside the coupler.
The female NPT end threads onto compatible male NPT pipe, nipples, valves, pumps, tank connections, manifolds, and other threaded equipment.
Connection Configuration
Female Camlock Coupler
The female cam & groove end accepts a compatible male camlock adapter. Closing both cam arms secures the mating adapter inside the coupler.
Female NPT
The opposite end provides female National Pipe Taper threads for connection to compatible male NPT pipe, nipples, valves, pumps, tanks, manifolds, and other threaded components.
How a Type D Camlock Works
Install the female NPT end onto the appropriate male-threaded connection using a thread-sealing method suitable for polypropylene threaded 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 D 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.

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 and female NPT connection requirements before ordering.
- Match the Type D female coupler with a compatible male cam & groove adapter.
- Use a thread-sealing method suitable for polypropylene threaded fittings and the intended media.
- Avoid excessive tightening on the female NPT connection.
- Verify polypropylene, gasket, pressure, temperature, and transferred-media compatibility before installation.
Our hose, fitting, and industrial product specialists can help review your camlock size, female NPT thread size, connection configuration, polypropylene material requirements, gasket compatibility, and fluid-transfer application before you order.

A Type D fitting has a female cam & groove coupler on one end and a female NPT threaded connection on the other.
Does a Type D coupler have cam arms?
Yes. The female camlock coupler includes cam arms that secure a compatible male cam & groove adapter.
What connects to the female camlock end?
The female coupler accepts a compatible male cam & groove adapter.
What connects to the female NPT end?
The female NPT connection threads onto compatible male NPT pipe, nipples, valves, pumps, tank connections, manifolds, and other male-threaded components.
What material is this fitting made from?
This Type D cam & groove coupler features polypropylene construction.
Why choose polypropylene camlock fittings?
Polypropylene provides a lightweight, corrosion-resistant option for compatible water, agricultural, irrigation, chemical-transfer, and general fluid-handling systems.
What is the difference between Type D and Type A?
Type D is female camlock x female NPT, while Type A is male camlock x female NPT.
How do I select the correct Type D fitting?
Confirm the camlock connection required for the mating male adapter and verify that the female NPT connection matches the male-threaded component in your system.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Type D configuration is female camlock x female NPT.
- Use with a compatible male cam & groove adapter.
- Avoid excessive tightening on polypropylene threaded connections.
- Never disconnect cam & groove fittings while the system is pressurized.
- Verify polypropylene, gasket, pressure, temperature, and media compatibility before use.
