Cam-and-groove couplings, known as Camlock fittings, enable fast connection and disconnection of hoses and pipes in fluid-transfer systems. They comprise a male adaptor with a circumferential groove and a female coupler fitted with pivoting cam arms.
To engage, retract the cam arms on the coupler, insert the male adaptor into the groove, then release the arms to lock securely.
Common in agriculture, petrochemical, chemical and food-processing sectors, Camlock fittings are available in aluminium, stainless steel, brass and polypropylene. These are manufactured from polypropylene—please ensure this material suits your needs.
Key benefits include:
-
Rapid Operation: Quick to connect and disconnect, minimising downtime.
-
Leak-Proof Seal: Locks tightly to prevent spills and contamination.
-
Standardised Compatibility: Uniform sizes ensure interchangeability across brands.
This is a 1¼″ Type A Camlock fitting, featuring a male groove-ring adaptor and a matching 1¼″ BSP female thread. Ideal for linking hoses or pipes to pumps, tanks and other equipment in fluid-transfer applications.
