Camlock fittings, also referred to as cam and groove couplings, are quick-release hose connectors designed for fast attachment and removal of hoses or pipes across many fluid transfer applications. They consist of two main parts: a male adapter and a female coupler. The male adapter features a grooved ring around its circumference—which gives rise to the term "cam and groove"—while the female coupler has cam arms that, when pulled back, allow insertion of the male adapter. Once the cam arms are released, they lock securely, creating a strong connection.
These fittings are widely utilised in industries such as agriculture, petroleum, chemical processing, and food production, where frequent hose connections and disconnections are essential without compromising safety or efficiency. Please note these camlock fittings are made of polypropylene (PP); ensure this material is appropriate for your specific use.
Camlock fittings provide several key advantages that have supported their broad application across various sectors:
Fast and Simple Connection: They enable rapid joining and separation of hoses or pipes, saving valuable time during assembly and maintenance, particularly where frequent changes are required.
Reliable Sealing: When connected correctly, camlock fittings form a tight, leak-proof seal that mitigates the risk of spills and contamination, which is vital in applications requiring fluid integrity and safety.
Interchangeability: Designed for compatibility within their size and type, these fittings ensure easy interchange between different systems and components, offering flexibility and convenience during setup and upkeep.
This kit includes Type C and Type E camlock fittings. Multiple sizes are available to accommodate various requirements.
