Stainless Steel Camlock Dust Cap (Type DC – Female Dust Cap for Male Camlock Adapters)

Product Specification

Feature

JINGYE Fittings manufactures Stainless Steel Camlock Dust Caps (Type DC) for protecting disconnected male cam-and-groove adapters in industrial fluid systems. Each closed-end female cap combines stainless steel construction, cam locking arms and a replaceable internal gasket to protect exposed connection openings. Key Product Advantages: 1. Twelve Sizes and Unified JINGYE Models The 1/2"–8" series includes JY-050-DC-SS, JY-075-DC-SS, JY-100-DC-SS, JY-125-DC-SS, JY-150-DC-SS, JY-200-DC-SS, JY-250-DC-SS, JY-300-DC-SS, JY-400-DC-SS, JY-500-DC-SS, JY-600-DC-SS and JY-800-DC-SS. Unified codes simplify distributor inventories, replacement orders and mixed-size sourcing. 2. SS304, SS316 and SS316L Material Options SS304 offers corrosion resistance for general industrial environments, while SS316 improves performance in many chemically demanding or chloride-exposed conditions. Low-carbon SS316L supports specified material and fabrication requirements. Investment-cast CF8 and CF8M are corresponding 304-type and 316-type casting options. 3. Closed-End Female Camlock Cap Design Type DC integrates a female camlock socket, enclosed back, locking cam levers and replaceable gasket. The cap has no through-flow bore, hose shank or threaded outlet. Its protective configuration covers a disconnected male adapter while helping maintain cleaner connection surfaces between operating cycles. 4. Compatibility with Type A, E and F Adapters The female cap fits compatible Type A female-thread adapters, Type E hose-shank adapters and Type F male-thread adapters. Camlock interface geometry references A-A-59326 (formerly MIL-C-27487) and applicable EN 14420-7 / DIN 2828 designs. Nose diameter, groove location and gasket contact are key mating features. 5. Cam-Arm Locking and Secure Retention Stainless steel cam levers engage the annular groove on the male adapter and draw its face toward the internal gasket. Tool-free locking and release simplify repeated installation during hose changes and equipment maintenance. Pivot pins, lever travel and arm engagement are controlled for consistent mechanical retention. 6. Replaceable Internal Gasket Protection The DC cap houses a replaceable face gasket within its female socket. NBR (Buna-N), EPDM, FKM and silicone options support different compatible service environments. Gasket-seat accuracy, compression and mating-face finish help maintain contact while the connection is idle. Gasket replacement supports ongoing maintenance. 7. Dust, Debris and Contamination Prevention The closed back helps shield disconnected male camlock openings against dust, dirt, grit, splashes and handling debris. Protecting the adapter nose and sealing-contact face helps reduce cleaning before reconnection. These features are useful during transport, planned shutdowns, seasonal equipment storage and hose assembly handling. 8. Precision Stainless Steel Manufacturing Investment casting or precision machining produces the stainless steel cap body. CNC operations finish the female socket, cam engagement regions, gasket recess, contact surfaces and critical dimensions. Cleaned stainless steel, pickling, passivation, polishing and laser marking can be selected according to application and OEM specifications. 9. Inspection, Traceability and Functional Testing JINGYE Fittings operates under ISO 9001:2015 quality management. Inspection covers material identity, casting surfaces, socket geometry, lever movement, pivot retention, gasket fit, closed-end integrity and burr removal. Material certificates, composition checks and heat-number traceability can support purchasing. Functional checks include adapter fit and repeated locking cycles. 10. OEM Customization and Flexible Procurement Options include SS304/SS316/SS316L grades, cap dimensions, gasket compounds, cam-arm hardware, retaining chains, safety clips, identification marks, private labeling and protective packaging. JINGYE Fittings supports sample development, drawings, mixed-SKU purchasing, bulk supply and repeat production for industrial distributors. 11. Industrial Applications and Second-Source Support Type DC caps serve chemical and petrochemical plants, water treatment, marine equipment, industrial hose assemblies, tanker loading stations, compatible food processing utilities and plant MRO. Customers can supply drawings, samples or existing part references for mating evaluation, dimensional matching and alternative sourcing. Type DP plugs complement the range for female-coupler protection.
