Construction Details
The Type F fitting features a brass body with a male cam & groove adapter on one end and male NPT threads on the opposite end.
The male camlock adapter inserts into a compatible female cam & groove coupler. The cam arms located on the mating female coupler close around the adapter and secure the quick-connect connection.
The male NPT end threads into compatible female NPT pipe fittings, valves, pumps, tank connections, manifolds, or other female-threaded equipment.
Connection Configuration
Male Camlock Adapter
The male cam & groove end inserts into a compatible female camlock coupler of the appropriate nominal size. The cam arms on the mating female coupler secure the adapter in position.
Male NPT
The opposite end provides male National Pipe Taper threads for installation into compatible female NPT pipe fittings, valves, pumps, tanks, manifolds, or other threaded components.
How a Type F Camlock Works
Install the male NPT end into the appropriate female threaded connection using a suitable pipe-thread sealant when required for the application.
To make the camlock connection, insert the Type F male adapter into a compatible female cam & groove coupler. Close the cam arms on the mating female coupler using normal hand pressure to secure the connection.
For disconnection, safely depressurize and drain the system as appropriate, open the cam arms on the mating female coupler, and remove the Type F adapter.

Type F vs. Type B
Type F
Male Camlock x Male NPT
Type F provides a male cam & groove adapter combined with a male NPT threaded connection.
Type B
Female Camlock x Male NPT
Type B provides a female cam & groove coupler with cam arms combined with a male NPT connection. Properly sized Type F and Type B fittings can be used together to create a quick-connect cam & groove connection.
