Camlock fittings, often called cam and groove couplings, are quick-connect hose connectors designed for swift attachment and detachment of hoses or pipes in various fluid transfer applications. They consist of two principal components: a male adapter and a female coupler. The male adapter features a grooved ring around its circumference—hence the term "cam and groove"—while the female coupler has cam arms that, when pulled back, allow the male adapter to be inserted. Releasing the cam arms locks the connection securely in place.
These fittings are commonly used across industries such as agriculture, petroleum, chemical, and food processing, where frequent hose connections and disconnections are necessary without compromising safety or efficiency. Please ensure polypropylene (PP), the material of these fittings, is suitable for your specific application.
Camlock fittings provide a range of benefits, contributing to their popularity in many sectors:
Speedy and Simple Connection: They enable fast connection and disconnection of hoses or pipes, saving time during installation and maintenance — especially useful in situations requiring frequent adjustments or servicing.
Reliable Sealing: When correctly connected, they form a tight seal preventing leaks, thereby reducing the risk of spills and contamination — essential for maintaining fluid integrity and safety.
Interchangeable Design: Camlock fittings are manufactured to be compatible within their respective sizes and types, allowing for easy interchangeability. This compatibility offers flexibility and ease when configuring or maintaining systems.
This kit includes Type B and Type E camlock fittings. A variety of sizes are available to suit different needs.
