Description
Type DD SS Cam & Groove Adapter Female Camlock x Female Camlock
Type DD Stainless Steel Cam & Groove Adapters feature female camlock coupler connections on both ends, providing a convenient quick-connect solution for joining two compatible male cam & groove adapters.
The stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance and durability for compatible water transfer, agricultural, construction, industrial, petroleum-transfer, chemical-processing, wastewater, hydraulic-oil, tank-transfer, and general fluid-handling applications. Type DD fittings may also be available in reducing configurations for transitioning between different camlock connection sizes.

Construction Details
The Type DD fitting features a durable stainless steel body with a female cam & groove coupler connection on each end.
Each female coupler 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.
Because both ends are female camlock couplers, the Type DD configuration can be used to connect two male camlock adapters without introducing an NPT threaded or hose-shank transition.
Depending on the specific model, Type DD fittings can provide equal-size female-to-female connections or reducing configurations for transitioning between compatible camlock sizes. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
Connection Configuration
Female Camlock Coupler - Side 1
The first female cam & groove connection accepts a compatible male camlock adapter and uses its cam arms to secure the mating adapter.
Female Camlock Coupler - Side 2
The opposite end provides a second female cam & groove connection, allowing another compatible male camlock adapter to be connected to the Type DD fitting.
How a Type DD Camlock Works
Open the cam arms on one end of the Type DD fitting and insert a compatible male cam & groove adapter. Close both cam arms using normal hand pressure to secure the first connection.
Repeat the process on the opposite end with the second compatible male camlock adapter. Once both connections are properly engaged, the Type DD fitting creates a female-to-female camlock transition between the two male adapters.
Before disconnecting either side, safely depressurize and drain the system as appropriate. Open the applicable cam arms only after pressure has been relieved.

Type DD Connection Design
Female-to-Female Connection
Type DD provides female cam & groove couplers on both ends and is designed to connect two compatible male camlock adapters. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Standard & Reducing Configurations
Depending on the specific fitting, the two female camlock connections may be the same nominal size or configured as a reducer for transitioning between different compatible camlock sizes. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
Type DD vs. Type DA
Type DD
Female Camlock x Female Camlock
Type DD provides female cam & groove coupler connections on both ends and is used to join two compatible male camlock adapters.
Type DA
Female Camlock x Male Camlock
Type DA combines a female cam & groove coupler with a male camlock adapter, providing a different camlock-to-camlock transition configuration.
Common Applications
Water & Industrial Transfer
- Water-transfer systems
- Agricultural transfer equipment
- Pump connections
- Tank and tote connections
- Wastewater systems
- Industrial hose assemblies
Corrosion-Resistant Fluid Handling
- Compatible chemical-transfer systems
- Petroleum-transfer applications
- Hydraulic-oil transfer
- Marine and washdown applications
- Process and plant connections
- 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, wastewater, oils, or corrosive operating environments make material resistance an important consideration.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm both female camlock connection requirements before ordering.
- Match each female coupler with a compatible male cam & groove adapter.
- For reducing configurations, confirm the required connection size on each side.
- Inspect the gaskets, cam arms, pins, body, and mating adapters 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 female camlock connections, mating male adapters, reducing requirements, connection configuration, stainless steel material requirements, gasket compatibility, and fluid-transfer application before you order.

What is a Type DD stainless steel cam & groove fitting?
A Type DD fitting has a female cam & groove coupler on both ends and is designed to connect two compatible male camlock adapters.
Does a Type DD fitting have cam arms on both ends?
Yes. Because both connections are female camlock couplers, each end uses cam arms to secure its mating male adapter.
What connects to a Type DD fitting?
Compatible male cam & groove adapters connect to each female coupler end.
Can a Type DD fitting be used as a reducer?
Yes. Certain Type DD configurations provide different connection sizes on each end, allowing the fitting to transition between compatible male camlock adapters of different nominal sizes.
What material is this Type DD fitting made from?
This Type DD cam & groove fitting features stainless steel construction.
What is the difference between Type DD and Type DA?
Type DD is female camlock x female camlock, while Type DA combines a female camlock coupler with a male camlock adapter.
Does a Type DD fitting require NPT threads?
No. The Type DD configuration uses cam & groove connections on both ends.
How do I select the correct Type DD fitting?
Confirm the camlock connection required on each side and make sure both female coupler ends match the male cam & groove adapters used in your system.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Confirm both mating male camlock connections before ordering.
- Type DD configuration is female camlock x female camlock.
- Confirm both connection sizes when selecting a reducing configuration.
- Never disconnect cam & groove fittings while the system is pressurized.
- Verify stainless steel, gasket, pressure, temperature, and media compatibility before use.
