Cheapest place for type a 3/4 Cam locks

[sbond10]

A kind member sent me some 3/4 type c Cam lock which by looks of it have been mis stamped with 1/2 inch. So looking for a type a cam in 3/4 as cheap as poss.

I'm planning on buying a topflo mini pump these so these have 1/2 openings so if I use a 1/2 to 3/4 Bush then the bigger cam type on top this should work shouldn't it ?

Cheers sean

Yes if the pump has 1/2" BSP male threads then a 1/2" BSP to 3/4" BSP reducing bush should work with 3/4" BSP type A camlocks. Even if the pump has 1/2" NPT male threads it would likely work.

Though what with bushes, bigger camlocks and hoses, the pump will end up with some weighty stuff dangling off its little 1/2" threads, so you may want to make sure no undue stresses are applied via tugging the hoses and so on.

Can't help with cheap places for small numbers of camlocks, but be sure you buy BSP camlocks if you want to use a BSP bush. NPT (common with US and Chinese sellers) is by coincidence just about compatible with BSP at 1/2", but is not at 3/4".
