Construction Details
The Type DD fitting features an aluminum body with a female cam & groove coupler on each end.
Each female coupler accepts a compatible male camlock adapter. Closing the cam arms draws the mating male adapter against the gasket inside the coupler and secures the quick-connect connection.
Because both ends are female camlock couplers, the Type DD is commonly used as a double-female camlock coupler or spool coupler for joining two male camlock connections. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Connection Configuration
Female Camlock – End 1
The first female cam & groove coupler accepts a compatible male camlock adapter. Closing both cam arms secures the adapter against the internal gasket.
Female Camlock – End 2
The second female cam & groove coupler connects in the same manner to another compatible male camlock adapter, allowing two male camlock connections to be joined.
How a Type DD Camlock Works
Open the cam arms on one end of the Type DD coupler and insert a compatible male camlock adapter fully into the female coupler.
Close both cam arms using normal hand pressure. Repeat the process on the opposite end with the second compatible male camlock adapter.
For disconnection, safely depressurize and drain the system as appropriate before opening the cam arms and separating either camlock connection.
