Cam-and-groove couplings, known as Camlock fittings, provide a swift-connect solution for hoses and pipes in fluid-transfer systems. The assembly comprises a male adaptor with a circumferential groove and a female coupler fitted with pivoting cam arms.
To connect, pull back the coupler’s cam arms, insert the male adaptor into the groove, then release the arms to lock the joint securely and form a leak-proof seal.
Widely used in agriculture, oil, chemical and food-processing industries, Camlock fittings are available in aluminium, stainless steel, brass and polypropylene. These particular fittings are moulded from polypropylene—please ensure this material suits your application.
Key advantages include:
-
Rapid Assembly: Enables quick connection and disconnection, reducing downtime.
-
Secure Seal: Locks tightly to prevent leaks and contamination.
-
Interchangeability: Standardised sizes guarantee compatibility across different systems.
This is a 4″ Type A Camlock coupling, featuring a male groove-ring adaptor paired with a matching 4″ BSP female thread. Ideal for linking hoses or pipework to tanks, pumps and other equipment in fluid-transfer setups.
