Description
Type F Poly Cam & Groove Male Adapter x Male NPT
Type F Poly Cam & Groove Adapters feature a male camlock adapter on one end and a male NPT threaded connection on the other, providing a quick-connect transition between compatible female cam & groove couplers and female-threaded piping, valves, pumps, tanks, manifolds, or equipment.
The polypropylene construction provides a lightweight, corrosion-resistant option for compatible water-transfer, irrigation, agricultural, construction, industrial, tank-transfer, and general fluid-handling applications.

Construction Details
The Type F fitting features a durable polypropylene body with a male cam & groove adapter on one end and external male NPT threads on the opposite end.
The male camlock adapter inserts into a compatible female cam & groove coupler. The cam arms on the mating female coupler engage the adapter groove and secure the connection.
The male NPT connection threads into compatible female NPT fittings, valves, pumps, tanks, manifolds, adapters, and other threaded equipment.
Connection Configuration
Male Camlock Adapter
The male cam & groove end inserts into a compatible female camlock coupler. The cam arms are located on the mating female coupler rather than on the Type F adapter.
Male NPT
The male NPT end threads into a compatible female-threaded pipe fitting, valve, pump, manifold, tank connection, adapter, or equipment port.
How a Type F Camlock Works
Install the male NPT end into the appropriate compatible female-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 on the mating female coupler and insert the Type F male adapter. Close both cam arms using normal hand pressure to secure the connection.
Before disconnecting the fitting, safely depressurize and drain the system as appropriate. Open the cam arms on the female coupler and remove the Type F male adapter.

Polypropylene Cam & Groove Benefits
Polypropylene cam & groove fittings provide a lightweight alternative to metal camlocks while offering corrosion resistance for compatible applications.
The nonmetallic construction can be useful in water, irrigation, agricultural, industrial, and compatible fluid-transfer systems where polypropylene is appropriate for the transferred media and operating conditions.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the male camlock and male NPT connection sizes before ordering.
- Match the Type F male adapter with a compatible female cam & groove coupler.
- Use a thread-sealing method suitable for polypropylene threaded fittings and the intended media.
- Avoid excessive tightening on the polypropylene male 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, male NPT connection, Type F configuration, polypropylene material requirements, gasket compatibility, and fluid-transfer application before you order.

What is a Type F Poly Cam & Groove fitting?
A Type F fitting has a male cam & groove adapter on one end and a male NPT threaded connection on the other.
Does a Type F fitting have cam arms?
No. Type F has a male camlock adapter. The cam arms are located on the mating female cam & groove coupler.
What connects to the male camlock end?
The male cam & groove adapter connects to a compatible female cam & groove coupler of the appropriate size.
What connects to the male NPT end?
The male NPT end installs into a compatible female-threaded fitting, valve, pump, tank connection, manifold, adapter, or equipment port.
What material is this fitting made from?
This Type F cam & groove adapter features polypropylene construction.
What is the difference between Type F and Type B?
Type F is male camlock x male NPT, while Type B is female camlock x male NPT.
Should thread sealant be used on the male NPT connection?
Use a thread-sealing method suitable for polypropylene threaded fittings, the transferred media, and the intended application.
How do I select the correct Type F fitting?
Confirm the required camlock size, male NPT size, mating female camlock connection, material compatibility, and operating requirements before ordering.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Type F configuration is male camlock adapter x male NPT.
- Use with a compatible female cam & groove coupler.
- Avoid excessive tightening on the polypropylene threaded connection.
- Never disconnect cam & groove fittings while the system is pressurized.
- Verify polypropylene, gasket, pressure, temperature, and media compatibility before use.
