Description
 
This fitting converts 1/2" OD stainless or copper tubing to a male camlock without having to do any welding or soldering. The fitting is made from 304 stainless steel and machined from a single piece of bar stock.

OPTIONS:


Besides the tube size option, we also offer a choice between stainless and nylon compression rings/sleeves.

Stainless Ferrule: This is a set of rings/sleeves/ferrules that slip over the tubing, but behind the compression nut that get squeezed onto the tubing when you lock the nut down TIGHT for the first time. This process permanently crimps the rings to the tubing though you can still remove the compression nut and tubing (though the nut is now captured). This option is more difficult to use and requires a lot of torque to set, however it is the better mechanical option where a lot of stress is put on the connection.

Nylon (AKA Delrin) Sleeve: This option replaces the pair of stainless rings with a one-piece wedge ferrule made of a tough, high temp, food grade plastic. It seals well with minimal tightening on the nut (hand tight plus a quarter turn), never attaches itself to the tubing permanently. Although it is plastic, it does allow for many disconnection cycles without wearing out. The only down side is that it doesn't offer the same mechanical strength as the SS version in cases where a LOT of stress is put on the connection.

2 of 5 Camlock flange thickness August 29, 2020
Reviewer: Jonathan Lizenby from Harvest, AL United States  
Don't know if the top flange thickness has been reduced or these got out of spec, but the female camlock closes without any restriction, feeling as if the washer/oring is not engaged.
Note: I had extra o-rings and tried them out, same issue.
Using these on a chiller, not confident the water pressure won't make a leak.
