Product Information
Full details
The B&Q Type A Camlock Coupling is an essential tool for professionals and DIY enthusiasts who require secure, rapid hose and pipe connections in fluid transfer applications. Featuring a male groove-ring adaptor and a 3/4" BSP female thread, it offers a tool-free locking mechanism that ensures a leak-resistant seal for pumps, tanks, and irrigation systems. While this polypropylene fitting is highly durable and corrosion-resistant, users should note that it is designed primarily for fluid transfer and should not be used in high-pressure steam applications.

FAQs
Is this coupling compatible with metal pipes?
Yes, as long as the metal pipe has a standard 3/4" BSP male thread.
Can I use this for drinking water?
While the polypropylene is corrosion-resistant, please check local regulations regarding material safety for potable water contact.
What is the maximum pressure for this fitting?
This fitting is designed for standard fluid transfer and is not rated for high-pressure industrial systems. Refer to your local product packaging for specific pressure limits.
Are the gaskets replaceable?
Yes, the internal gaskets are standard sized and can be replaced if they become worn.
Does this require thread seal tape?
Using PTFE (Teflon) tape on the BSP threads is recommended to ensure a watertight seal.
Troubleshooting
Connection appears to leak
Check the internal gasket for debris or damage; ensure the cam arms are fully engaged to the closed position.
Difficulty closing cam arms
Ensure the male adaptor is fully seated inside the coupling before attempting to lock the arms.
Fitting is stuck on threads
Do not force with metal pliers, which can crack polypropylene; use a rubber strap wrench if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, thread the 3/4" BSP female end onto your male-threaded equipment until hand-tight. For the camlock side, insert the male adaptor into the coupling and flip the cam arms downward until they lock into place. To ensure longevity, rinse the coupling with fresh water after each use, especially if used with chemical liquids. Regularly inspect the internal gasket within the camlock head; if it shows signs of hardening or cracking, replace it immediately to maintain a leak-free seal. Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent potential material fatigue.
