Overview
The CANDO DP050PP is a 1/2″ cam & groove (camlock) coupling manufactured from yellow nylon material with a maximum working pressure of 150 psi. This Type DP coupler features the grooved adaptor design and is engineered to provide tool-free connection and disconnection of hoses and pipes. Cam and groove couplings are popular because they offer a simple and reliable means of connecting and disconnecting hoses quickly and without tools. The CANDO DP050PP part number is 5603045.
Key Features
- Tool-free operation: Camlock fittings are designed for ease of use and quick connection and disconnection without requiring tools.
- No cross-threading risk: The risk of cross threading is avoided.
- Nylon construction: Yellow nylon material resists acids, making it suitable for agricultural sprayers and chemical applications.
- Safety pin compatible: Lever safety pins are common features for additional security.
- Mil-Spec standard: Cam couplings made to the Mil Spec MIL-C-27487, now superseded by Federal Standard A-A59326, ensures compatibility between different product manufacturers.
- Interchangeable: All ½” couplers come standard with two handles.
Technical Specifications
The following specifications apply to the CANDO DP050PP 5603045 cam & groove coupling:
Typical Applications
- Liquid transfer: Cam & groove couplings are widely used for connecting pipes and hoses that carry liquids, and a straight-through connection is made allowing free flow of substance being moved.
- Agricultural spraying: Poly camlocks are widely used as hose connectors on agriculture sprayers due to their acid resistant qualities.
- Powder and granule handling: Cam locks are applicable to almost any industry that uses liquids, powders or granules where pipes, tubes or hoses transfer product.
- Industrial maintenance: Cam and groove fittings are often used threaded into the inlet & outlet connections of pumps to allow for quick release of the transfer hose.
- Fuel and chemical tankers: Cam and groove couplings are popular in moderately dirty environments such as septic tank pump trucks and chemical or fuel tanker trucks, and are especially well suited where frequent changes of hoses are required.
