Q I want to learn how to install the KAMLOK gasket. I’m trying to install a Teflon jacket gasket, but it’s tight on the side. Is it safe to push it in? Gasket
A.

Forcibly inserting it may cause streaks and deformation in the Teflon part, which may cause leakage.
To install the gasket, immerse it in hot water at 80°C for 10-15 seconds (increasing flexibility) and firmly insert the gasket diagonally along the streaks (including the filler part).
When purchasing a new product, gasket replacement can also be provided, so consult with the supplier.

Q Is KAMLOK available in NPT thread type? Connection
A.

We do not carry NPT thread type. All products are PT thread type.

Q What is the working temperature range of KAMLOK? Specification
A.

The working temperature range of KAMLOK depends on that of the gasket. With that said, the maximum working temperature for KAMLOK models made from polypropylene (PP) is 60°C.

Q Is the KAMLOK adapter 633-AB-3/4 available with a different thread diameter of 1/2? Connection
A.

The KAMLOK adapter 633-AB-1/2 has internal thread diameter of 1/2. Only KAMLOK 1/2 and 3/4 have the same fitting size, and available screw standards are 1/2 and 3/4. *Except products made of PP The same applies to 633-FB.

Q What is the working pressure range of KAMLOK? Specification
A.

It varies depending on the body material and size. With that said, the working pressure of the hose needs to be taken into account when connecting the hose. Please also be aware that even if the pressure applied is within the working range of the hose, pressure may be released if depending on the clamps situation.

Q I want to mount the Dust Plug 634-A to the KAMLOK 633-DB-1/2. Do the 1/2 and 3/4 KAMLOK have the same fitting? Connection
A.

KAMLOK’s mating size is shared between 1/2 and 3/4 sizes. Therefore, the 1/2 and 3/4 sizes of the dust plug and dust cap are the same.

Q How do I attach the fall prevention chain (sold separately) to the KAMLOK 634-B (dust cap)? Specification
A.

Use the round connecting hole or the ring at the end of the arm.

Q I would like to know the guideline for replacing the KAMLOK. Specification
A.

If the cam arm of the KAMLOK COUPLER feels loose or the liquid oozes, it is an indication to replace the gasket. If the cam arm feels loose even after replacing the gasket, it is due to wear, so replace it with a new KAMLOK adapter.

Q Is the flange in the KAMLOK with Flange set compliant with JIS 10K? Connection
A.

Models such as the KAMLOK 633LAS and 633LBS have a flange that is compliant with JIS 10K.
