The Dixon global Type DP investment cast stainless steel 316 cam and groove fitting has a straight body and one opening to terminate a hose or pipe that has a cam and groove fitting. It has a dust plug with a male groove adapter for keeping out contaminants (Type DP). The body is made of stainless steel 316 for higher strength and greater corrosion resistance than stainless steel 304. This Dixon cam and groove fitting is suitable for use in commercial or industrial flow systems, such as water transport and treatment, waste management, and in petroleum systems, among others, but it should not be used in compressed air or steam applications.

Hose fittings are components used for connecting, terminating, controlling, and changing the direction of flow in piping and hose systems in many different industries. When purchasing hose fittings, consider the application, as this will affect material type, shape, size and required durability. Fittings are available threaded, unthreaded, or using another connection standard, such as cam and groove, and come in many shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).
