  • Give your water butt a camlock connection: the Type F adapter provides a male cam-and-groove end for a compatible female coupler, with a BSP male thread and back nut for a suitable tank-wall mounting.
  • Three matching parts in one kit: one Type F adapter, one back nut and one washer in your selected nominal size. The tank, female coupler, hose and any flow-control valve are separate.
  • Choose the connection size you need: six nominal sizes from ½ inch to 2 inches, with matching camlock and BSP size labels. These labels are not measured outside diameters or hole-cutting sizes.
  • Check the tank before fitting: allow access to the back nut and check the opening, wall thickness, usable thread and sealing surface. The body is polypropylene; confirm the body and seal suit your liquid and working conditions.

Description

A camlock connection for your water tank.

Fit the threaded adapter through a suitable tank opening, then connect your line at the male camlock end.

The included back nut and washer provide the mounting parts, while a separately chosen female coupler makes the detachable connection. Choose the kit size to match your installation.

Representative two-inch Type F camlock dry-mounted through a green water-butt wall with a gloved hand beside it for scale
Illustrative dry mounting of the 2-inch design. Tank and other equipment are not included.
The three supplied kit parts separated: Type F male camlock adapter, back nut and washer, shown in the representative two-inch design

One adapter. One nut. One washer.

Each order quantity supplies one complete kit in the size selected above.

  • Type F adapter: male camlock groove at one end and BSP male thread at the other.
  • Matching back nut: secures the threaded section from the opposite side of a suitable tank wall.
  • Washer: sits against a suitable sealing surface as part of the mounting.

Choose ½, ¾, 1, 1¼, 1½ or 2 inches. The camlock and BSP thread carry the same nominal size label within each kit, but their physical diameters differ. Photographs illustrate the kit design; the moulded F200 marking identifies the 2-inch example, not every size in the menu.

Check the mounting before making the opening

The thread, tank wall and sealing face need to work together.

  1. Check the actual threaded section against the proposed tank opening. Allow enough usable thread for the wall, washer and back nut, and make sure you can reach the nut inside.
  2. Use a suitable sealing surface and fit the washer and back nut for the tank arrangement. Check the completed mounting before filling or using the tank.
  3. Connect a compatible female camlock of the same nominal size: open both arms, seat the male adapter fully, then close both arms evenly by hand and fit its retaining hardware as instructed.

Stop the flow, isolate and depressurise before disconnecting. The kit has an open passage and no shut-off valve. Check the polypropylene body, seal and complete assembly for your liquid and working conditions; no numerical pressure or temperature rating is stated here.

Before you fit the kit

What size hole should I cut?

Do not use the nominal inch label as a hole-cutting diameter. Check the actual thread diameter, washer coverage, wall thickness and available thread before deciding on the opening. A fixed hole size is not specified for this kit.

Will it stop water when the hose is disconnected?

No. This is an open-bore tank connector, not a self-closing valve. Plan separate flow control where required and stop the flow before opening the camlock joint. The female coupler, valve and hose are not supplied.

What is BSP?

What is BSP thread size?
BSP (British Standard Pipe) is a nominal pipe-thread size, not a direct measurement of a fitting’s bore or outside diameter. For example, a ½-inch BSP male thread measures about 21mm across its outer thread crests.

These figures are approximate outside diameters of male BSP threads, to help identify the nominal size. They are not inch-to-millimetre unit conversions:

  • 3/8" BSP → 16.66 mm
  • 1/2" BSP → 20.95 mm
  • 3/4" BSP → 26.44 mm
  • 1" BSP → 33.25 mm
  • 1.25" BSP → 41.91 mm
  • 1.5" BSP → 47.80 mm
  • 2" BSP → 59.61 mm
  • 3" BSP → 87.88 mm
  • 4" BSP → 113.03 mm

All our BSP threads are parallel (BSPP, to ISO 228), not tapered.

Measure across the outside of a male thread, then check its pitch and whether it is parallel or tapered. Diameter alone does not confirm compatibility. Check the product’s stated thread specification before connecting.
