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

Product Specification

Feature

JINGYE Fittings manufactures Aluminum Camlock Dust Caps (Type DC) for protecting disconnected male cam-and-groove adapters. The closed-end female cap combines cam locking arms and a replaceable gasket to shield exposed connection faces from dust and debris during storage and maintenance. Key Product Advantages: 1. Twelve Sizes and Consistent JINGYE Model Codes Available in 1/2"–8": JY-050-DC-AL, JY-075-DC-AL, JY-100-DC-AL, JY-125-DC-AL, JY-150-DC-AL, JY-200-DC-AL, JY-250-DC-AL, JY-300-DC-AL, JY-400-DC-AL, JY-500-DC-AL, JY-600-DC-AL and JY-800-DC-AL. The series supports distributors and mixed-size replacement orders. 2. Closed-End Female Dust Cap Configuration Type DC incorporates a female camlock socket, enclosed back, cam arms and an internal gasket. It has no through-flow passage, threaded outlet or hose shank. The cap covers disconnected male adapters rather than joining two operating fluid lines, protecting hoses and equipment. 3. Compatible with Type A, E and F Male Adapters The female socket fits corresponding Type A (female thread), Type E (hose shank) and Type F (male thread) camlock adapters. Interface geometry references applicable A-A-59326 (formerly MIL-C-27487) and EN 14420-7 / DIN 2828 designs. Matching nose and groove geometry supports fit. 4. Fast Cam-Arm Locking and Removal Pivoting cam levers engage the annular groove on the male adapter, drawing the adapter face toward the cap gasket. The locking arrangement secures the dust cap without extra threaded fastening. Cam-arm movement, pivot-pin retention and lever clearance support repeated fitting and removal during maintenance. 5. Dust, Dirt and Contamination Protection The solid closed end helps cover the exposed adapter opening when hose lines are disconnected. It reduces entry of airborne dust, grit and handling debris, while protecting sealing-contact surfaces from incidental contact. This supports cleaner storage, transport and planned equipment shutdowns. 6. Replaceable Internal Gasket The female dust cap includes a gasket seat and replaceable sealing element. NBR (Buna-N), EPDM, FKM and silicone options provide material choices for compatible fluids and operating environments. Proper gasket positioning and contact with the male adapter face help improve closure fit during idle periods. 7. Lightweight Cast Aluminum and CNC Machining Cast aluminum alloy provides a manageable weight for routine handling. CNC machining controls the female socket profile, cam engagement area, gasket recess, contact face and fit-related dimensions. Natural aluminum finish is standard, with selected identification markings and surface finishes available for OEM supply. 8. Optional Retaining Chains and Safety Accessories Retaining chains can keep the cap attached to a nearby hose or equipment point between uses. Optional safety clips, pull rings and identification features support workplace handling and help reduce misplaced accessories. Attachment selection can be adapted to the customer's equipment layout, site practices. 9. Dimensional Inspection and Functional Checks JINGYE Fittings follows an ISO 9001:2015 quality management system. Inspection includes casting condition, socket opening, cam-arm travel, pivot security, gasket seating, closed-end integrity, burr removal and visual finish. Functional checks can cover adapter mating fit, cam-lever engagement, cap retention and repeated opening and closing. 10. OEM Customization and Flexible Procurement OEM choices include nominal size, cap dimensions, gasket compounds, lever hardware, retaining chains, safety accessories, cast or laser identification, private labeling and packaging. JINGYE Fittings supports sample evaluation, drawing-based development, mixed-SKU orders, bulk quantities and repeat supply. 11. Industrial Applications and Second-Source Supply Type DC caps are used in industrial hose assemblies, irrigation systems, tanker loading equipment, compatible fuel and chemical transfer facilities, construction dewatering, mining operations and plant MRO. Customers can provide male adapters, drawings or existing part references for fit evaluation and alternative sourcing. Type DP plugs complete the matching female-coupler protection range.
