Cam-and-groove fittings, often referred to as Camlock couplings, provide a rapid-connect solution for hoses and pipes in fluid-transfer systems. Each set comprises a male adaptor with a circumferential groove and a female coupler fitted with pivoting cam arms.
To assemble, retract the cam arms on the coupler, insert the male adaptor into the groove, then release the arms to lock the connection securely.
Widely used in agriculture, petroleum, chemical and food-processing industries, Camlock fittings are available in aluminium, stainless steel, brass and polypropylene. These particular fittings are polypropylene—please verify that this material suits your application.
Key advantages include:
-
Quick Assembly: Enables fast connection and disconnection, minimising downtime.
-
Secure Seal: Locks tightly to prevent leaks and contamination.
-
Interchangeable: Standardised sizes ensure compatibility across different brands and systems.
This is a 1″ Type A Camlock coupling, featuring a male adaptor and matching 1″ BSP female thread. It’s ideal for connecting hoses or pipes to tanks, pumps and other equipment in fluid-transfer applications.
