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

Product Specification

Feature

JINGYE Fittings manufactures Brass Camlock Dust Caps (Type DC) for protecting disconnected male cam-and-groove adapters in industrial fluid systems. The closed-end female cap combines a brass body, dual locking cam arms and a replaceable internal gasket to protect exposed connections during storage and maintenance. Key Product Advantages: 1. Eleven Nominal Sizes and Unified JINGYE Models The 1/2"–6" series includes JY-050-DC-BR, JY-075-DC-BR, JY-100-DC-BR, JY-125-DC-BR, JY-150-DC-BR, JY-200-DC-BR, JY-250-DC-BR, JY-300-DC-BR, JY-400-DC-BR, JY-500-DC-BR and JY-600-DC-BR. Consistent model codes simplify distributor catalogs, replacement identification, inventory management and mixed-size procurement. 2. Brass Alloy Body and Material Selection Copper-zinc brass alloys offer machinability, mechanical strength and corrosion resistance for compatible industrial environments. Specified grades may include CW617N and C37700. Alloy selection considers moisture, water chemistry, ammonia exposure and dezincification risk for long-term protection of disconnected fittings. 3. Closed-End Female Dust Cap Construction Type DC integrates a closed-back female camlock socket, two locking cam arms and a recessed replaceable gasket. It contains no through-flow bore, pipe thread or hose shank. The cap covers the exposed opening and gasket-contact face of a male adapter rather than functioning as a fluid-transfer coupling. 4. Compatibility with Type A, E and F Male Adapters The female Type DC cap fits compatible Type A female-thread adapters, Type E hose-shank adapters and Type F male-thread adapters. Interface geometry references A-A-59326 (formerly MIL-C-27487) and applicable EN 14420-7 / DIN 2828 designs. Correct socket diameter, adapter groove position and gasket-contact geometry support mating fit. 5. Dual Cam-Arm Locking and Mechanical Retention Two pivoting cam levers engage the annular groove of a matching male adapter and draw its face against the internal gasket. Corrosion-resistant pivot pins, pull rings and accurately controlled lever travel support repeatable attachment and removal. Optional safety clips and retaining chains help keep the protective cap secure and accessible. 6. Replaceable Internal Gasket and Contact Protection The Type DC cap incorporates its own replaceable face gasket. NBR (Buna-N), EPDM, FKM and silicone options allow material selection for compatible residues and environments. Controlled gasket-seat dimensions, contact surfaces and compression support protective closure while disconnected. Worn gaskets can be replaced during maintenance. 7. Dust, Dirt and Contamination Prevention The closed end helps shield exposed male camlock openings from airborne dust, grit, dirt, splashes and handling debris. Protecting the adapter nose and gasket-contact face helps keep connection surfaces cleaner before reconnection. This is useful during hose storage, equipment transport, shutdowns and routine maintenance. 8. Brass Manufacturing and Precision CNC Finishing Production options include brass casting, forging and precision machining according to product geometry. CNC operations finish the female socket, gasket recess, cam-arm pivot features and fit-critical surfaces. Natural brass, cleaned and deburred edges, optional polishing and laser marking support OEM appearance and handling requirements. 9. Quality Inspection and Functional Verification JINGYE Fittings operates under ISO 9001:2015 quality management. Inspection covers brass alloy identity, closed-end body integrity, socket dimensions, lever operation, pivot retention, gasket seating and surface quality. Matching-adapter fit and repeated locking cycles help verify function; material certificates and dimensional reports support specified orders. 10. OEM Customization and Flexible Procurement Options include selected brass alloys, cap dimensions, gasket compounds, cam-arm hardware, retaining chains, safety clips, identification marks and private-label packaging. JINGYE Fittings supports samples, customer drawings, custom machining, mixed-SKU orders, bulk purchasing and repeat production for industrial distributors. 11. Industrial Applications and Second-Source Support Brass Type DC caps protect male camlock adapters in industrial hose assemblies, irrigation equipment, water-transfer pumps, compatible oil-handling systems, tank connections, marine maintenance and plant MRO. Buyers can provide mating adapters, samples or drawings for fit evaluation, dimensional matching and alternative sourcing. Type DP plugs complement the range for female-coupler protection.
