Is the SAFLOK® DU Stainless Steel Socket with BSP Female Thread compatible with standard CAMLOCK MIL-C-27487 couplings and does it prevent accidental disconnection?

Yes. The SAFLOK® DU Stainless Steel Socket with BSP Female Thread is fully compatible with standard CAMLOCK MIL-C-27487 couplings and features an advanced safety system that prevents accidental disconnection. Its spring-loaded latches are integrated into the levers and automatically lock when the levers are closed, ensuring a secure, tight connection. To release the coupling, the latches must be intentionally pulled back, providing an extra layer of protection and control. Made from AISI 316 stainless steel with NBR sealing, it offers corrosion resistance and reliable tightness across typical industrial pressures and temperatures, and spare parts (levers with latches and pins) are available for maintenance.

Can the SAFLOK® DU Stainless Steel Socket with BSP Female Thread be fitted with alternative seals or materials for specific chemical or temperature applications?

The SAFLOK® DU Stainless Steel Socket with BSP Female Thread is supplied with NBR (nitrile) sealing and an operating temperature range of −40°C to +93°C. While the product description specifies NBR as the standard seal material, many CAMLOCK-style couplings (including stainless steel variants) can often accommodate alternative seal materials (e.g., EPDM, FKM/Viton, PTFE) to suit specific chemical compatibilities or extended temperature requirements. However, the description does not explicitly state manufacturer-approved alternative seals for this SAFLOK® DU model. Before fitting alternative seals or materials you should: - Confirm compatibility with the manufacturer or authorized supplier to ensure proper fit, pressure rating and safety of the SAFLOK® DU Stainless Steel Socket with BSP Female Thread. - Verify chemical compatibility and temperature limits of the chosen seal (EPDM for hot water/steam resistance, FKM for oils/solvents/high temps, PTFE for aggressive chemicals/high temps, etc.). - Ensure spare parts and sealing materials meet MIL-C-27487 compatibility and do not compromise the socket’s locking/safety mechanism or pressure ratings. For a definitive answer and recommended alternatives, contact the manufacturer or your supplier with application details (fluid type, concentration, temperature, pressure).

Additional information

Material	SS – stainless steel

Socket SAFLOK® DU with a thread internal BSP is a variant of the CAMLOCK coupling with protection against accidental opening of the coupling. The protection consists of resilient latches placed in the levers of the socket. When the lever is closed, the latches lock automatically. Unlocking during opening requires pulling back the latches. socket SAFLOK® DU is compatible with other CAMLOCK couplings made in accordance with the MIL-C-27487 standard. Spare parts are available: levers with latches and pins. The 1/2″ size coupling has a 1/2″ thread and a 3/4″ socket. Material: steel AISI 316. Sealing: NBR. Working pressure: 20 bar (1/2″ ÷ 2″), 10 bar (2.1/2″ ÷ 4″). Operating temperature: from -40°C to +93°C.
