Overview

Camlock Type A adapter for male threaded pipe ends

The Type A adapter has a machined male groove on one end and a female thread on the other. It is usually screwed onto a pipe nipple, valve spigot or pump discharge so that a hose fitted with a coupler can be clipped on. Having no moving parts or gasket, it is the low-maintenance half of the joint and is best left on fixed equipment.

Hamza Fasteners stocks Type A in aluminium for water and fuel transfer and in SS 316 for chemicals, food and marine work, in BSP parallel or NPT tapered threads. Seal the thread with PTFE tape or a thread sealant suited to the medium. Common uses include tank outlets, pump discharge and manifold take-offs. Send sizes and thread type for a Dubai quote.

FAQ

Common questions

What is the difference between Type A and Type F?
Both are male adapters. Type A has a female thread and screws onto a male pipe; Type F has a male thread and screws into a female port. Choose by the thread already on your equipment.
How do I tell BSP from NPT?
NPT threads are tapered with a 60 degree angle, while BSP uses a 55 degree angle and may be parallel or tapered. Pitch also differs on most sizes over 1". If unsure, send a photo or the mating part and we will check.
Does Type A need a gasket?
No. The camlock gasket sits inside the female coupler. The threaded end of the Type A is sealed with PTFE tape or a compatible sealant. Check the coupler gasket instead if the camlock joint itself leaks.
What range of Type A sizes do you supply?
We hold Type A from 1/2" to 6" in aluminium and SS 316, in both BSP and NPT. Bulk quantities for tank builders and pump packagers can be arranged. Tell us which thread your equipment uses and we will check stock for each size.
What is the price of camlock Type A adapter in the UAE?
The price varies with size, material and quantity, and thread type rarely changes the cost. Share your requirement on WhatsApp or by email and we will send a written quote from Dubai stock, with project and bulk rates where the volume allows.
Can you ship Type A camlock adapters outside Dubai?
Yes. We deliver across the UAE from Deira, Dubai and dispatch to KSA, the wider GCC and Africa by road, sea or air freight. Tell us the delivery address and we will confirm transit time and freight cost with the quote.
