That's American unfortunately. I WISH we had something like that here.
I would make sure all plastics are similar. Both pieces I want to weld together are polypropylene which is recycle code 5. I just don't know if colour makes a difference as I probably won't find anything black. Though I could melt down the adapters i bought that did not fit, I only need to melt down the part with the threads, that should give me enough material to glue the hose part to the camlock.
I don't decide what kind of threads there are, they come in whatever they come in. If it was my choice it would just be camlock straight to a hose fitting. I did find one on amazon but it's like $90 and I don't really trust Amazon for something like that anyway.
Another option might be to try to cut some of the threads but it will be tricky trying to get a very straight cut, it needs to be straight so it can seal with the O ring. I can't screw it in far enough for it to get to the O ring since one set of threads is NPS and other is NPT. Could not find both in same thread format.
This looks promissing but not sure if the threads will match.

Does it mean it *IS* a male to female or that it mates to a male and other end mates to a female? I need it to have a female thread since the camlock adapter (the one that does fit) is male.
I think the pic is also generic as the size does not look right but it's the same pic for lot of fittings.
This is what I have so far:

The two fittings I attempted to use:
The camlock (one with metal locking mechanism) fits fine, but the other one can't thread all the way, it's NPS (can't find it in NPT) and I think the camlock is NPT (can't find in NPS).
So I'm thinking I will just find a way to weld a flat piece of plastic to end of camlock, then weld the hose connector part to the flat piece after drilling it out.
