Overview
The 2″ Type D cam & groove coupling D-2 is a bronze body quick-disconnect coupler built to federal specification AA-59326 (formerly military standard MIL-C-27487). This cam groove coupling D-2 configuration offers female NPT threaded ends, enabling fast connection and disconnection of hoses without tools. Typical applications span hydraulic systems, pneumatic transfer lines, pump inlet/outlet connections, fuel delivery, and industrial fluid transfer.
Key Features
- Bronze body construction for corrosion resistance
- Female NPT thread connections for direct pipe integration
- Camlock arms with locking pin capability for safety
- Meets specification AA-59326 for cross-manufacturer compatibility
- Quick-connect / quick-disconnect without tools required
- Elastomeric gasket seals (standard EPDM)
