Position the Type DC dust cap over a compatible male camlock adaptor of the same nominal size. Close both cam arms evenly to secure the cap in position.
Ensure the internal coupling gasket is correctly positioned and in good condition to provide an effective seal against external contamination.
Type DC camlock dust caps are primarily designed to protect and close disconnected male camlock adaptors. They should not be used as pressure-retaining end closures unless the manufacturer has specifically approved the fitting for that application.
Always ensure the system is fully depressurised before fitting or removing a camlock dust cap.
