Camlock Coupling Part DC

Camlock Part DC Overview

Camlock Part DC is a dust cap used to close a compatible male camlock adapter when a hose or pipeline connection is not in use. It helps protect the open adapter from dirt and debris. The exact size, material, mating series, gasket and pressure conditions must be confirmed before selection.

Published Material and Size Options

• Listed materials: Stainless Steel 316, brass, aluminium and polypropylene.
• Published size range: 1/2 inch to 6 inches.
• Published maximum operating pressure: 150 psi, subject to verification for the exact material, size, manufacturer and configuration.

What Part DC Is Designed to Do

A Part DC cap fits over a compatible male camlock adapter and is commonly used as a protective closure during storage, transport or idle periods. It does not by itself prove that a line is safely isolated or depressurised.

Confirm the Mating Adapter

Provide the manufacturer, series, nominal size and material of the male adapter. Similar-looking camlock components may differ in dimensions, tolerances or rating and should not be forced together.

Understanding the Published 150 PSI Reference

The 150 psi value is a published product reference, not a universal rating for every Part DC option. Allowable pressure can vary with material, size, temperature, wear, gasket, locking condition and manufacturer data.

Do Not Use a Dust Cap as Primary Isolation

A dust cap should not be relied upon to contain trapped hazardous pressure unless the exact assembly is specifically rated and the system has independent verified isolation. Depressurise and drain the line before opening or fitting the cap.

Material and Media Compatibility

Select stainless steel 316, brass, aluminium or polypropylene only after reviewing the transferred media, cleaning chemical, temperature, external atmosphere and possible galvanic interaction. Material name alone does not confirm compatibility with every fluid.

Gasket, Cam Arms and Locking Condition

Confirm the gasket material and inspect both cam arms, pins, locking features and sealing surface. The cap cannot compensate for a damaged adapter face, worn arms or an incompatible gasket.

Secure Both Cam Arms Correctly

Both arms should close evenly without excessive force, and any site-required safety clips or locking devices should be applied. Do not hammer the arms or modify the cap to make an incorrect size fit.

Inspection and Safe Handling

Before installation, isolate the system, release trapped pressure and control residual liquid according to the site procedure and SDS. Inspect the cap for cracks, deformation, corrosion, damaged sealing surfaces or excessive wear. Replace suspect components rather than attempting an improvised repair.

Information Required for a Part DC Enquiry

• Nominal camlock size and mating-adapter series
• Required cap material
• Transferred media, concentration and SDS
• Working, residual and surge pressure conditions
• Fluid and ambient temperature range
• Gasket material and sealing requirements
• Locking, identification or colour-coding requirements
• Required test certificate or documentation
