Description
Type DA SS Cam & Groove Reducing Adapter Male Camlock x Female Camlock
Type DA Stainless Steel Cam & Groove Reducing Adapters combine a male camlock adapter connection with a female camlock coupler connection, providing a convenient quick-connect transition between compatible cam & groove components where a reducing or changing connection is required.
The stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance and durability for compatible water transfer, agricultural, construction, industrial, petroleum-transfer, chemical-processing, tank-transfer, and general fluid-handling applications.

Construction Details
The Type DA fitting features a durable stainless steel body with a male cam & groove adapter connection on one side and a female cam & groove coupler connection on the other.
The male camlock side inserts into a compatible female cam & groove coupler and is secured by the cam arms on the mating coupler.
The female camlock side accepts a compatible male cam & groove adapter. Closing the built-in cam arms secures the mating adapter against the gasket inside the coupler.
The Type DA configuration is especially useful where two compatible cam & groove connections need to be joined while changing or reducing the connection size between sections of a transfer system.
Connection Configuration
Male Camlock Adapter
The male cam & groove side inserts into a compatible female camlock coupler. The cam arms on the mating female coupler secure the Type DA adapter in position.
Female Camlock Coupler
The female cam & groove side accepts a compatible male camlock adapter and includes cam arms for quick connection and disconnection.
How a Type DA Reducing Adapter Works
The Type DA reducing adapter provides a camlock connection on both ends, allowing two compatible cam & groove components to be joined without adding a threaded transition fitting.
Connect the male camlock side to a compatible female coupler and close the mating coupler's cam arms. On the opposite side, insert a compatible male adapter into the Type DA female coupler and close both cam arms.
Before disconnecting either side, safely depressurize and drain the system as appropriate. Open the applicable cam arms and separate the connection only after pressure has been relieved.

Type DA Reducing Adapter
Camlock-to-Camlock Transition
Type DA provides a direct cam & groove connection on both ends, helping maintain quick-connect functionality throughout the transfer system.
Reducing Connection
The reducing configuration can be used where the connection on one side of the system differs from the connection required on the opposite side, helping eliminate unnecessary threaded transition components.
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 piping connections
- Plant maintenance systems
- 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 camlock connection requirements before ordering.
- Match the male camlock side with a compatible female cam & groove coupler.
- Match the female camlock side with a compatible male cam & groove adapter.
- Inspect the gasket, cam arms, pins, body, and mating components before use.
- Verify stainless steel, gasket, pressure, temperature, and transferred-media compatibility before installation.
Our hose, fitting, and industrial product specialists can help review your male and female camlock connections, reducing requirements, connection configuration, stainless steel material requirements, gasket compatibility, and fluid-transfer application before you order.

What is a Type DA stainless steel cam & groove fitting?
A Type DA fitting combines a male cam & groove adapter connection with a female cam & groove coupler connection and is commonly used as a camlock-to-camlock reducing or transition fitting.
What are the connections on this Type DA adapter?
This fitting has a male camlock connection on one side and a female camlock coupler connection on the other.
Which side has the cam arms?
The female camlock coupler side includes the cam arms. The male camlock side is secured by the cam arms on the mating female coupler.
What is the purpose of a Type DA reducing adapter?
A Type DA reducing adapter allows compatible cam & groove connections to be joined while providing a transition between the connections required on each side of the system.
What material is this Type DA fitting made from?
This Type DA cam & groove reducing adapter features stainless steel construction.
Does a Type DA fitting require threaded connections?
No. Type DA uses cam & groove connections on both sides, allowing a direct camlock-to-camlock transition.
How do I select the correct Type DA reducing adapter?
Confirm the required male camlock connection on one side and female camlock connection on the other, making sure both match the mating components in your system.
Should the system be depressurized before disconnecting the adapter?
Yes. Safely depressurize and drain the system as appropriate before opening any cam arms or separating the cam & groove connections.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Confirm both camlock connection requirements before ordering.
- Type DA configuration is male camlock x female camlock.
- Use only with compatible cam & groove connections.
- Never disconnect cam & groove fittings while the system is pressurized.
- Verify stainless steel, gasket, pressure, temperature, and media compatibility before use.
