Camlock fittings, also known as cam and groove couplings, are quick-connect hose connectors designed to rapidly attach and detach hoses or pipes across a wide range of fluid transfer applications. They comprise two main parts: a male adapter and a female coupler. The male adapter features a grooved ring around its circumference—which gives the "cam and groove" name—while the female coupler has cam arms that, when pulled back, allow the male adapter to be inserted. Once the cam arms are released, they lock firmly in place, ensuring a secure connection.
These fittings are widely used in industries such as agriculture, petroleum, chemical, and food processing, where frequent connecting and disconnecting is required without compromising safety or efficiency. Please ensure that polypropylene (PP), the material of these fittings, is suitable for your intended application.
Camlock fittings provide several advantages that contribute to their extensive use across different sectors:
Fast and Simple Connection: These fittings allow quick coupling and uncoupling of hoses or pipes, saving valuable time during installation and maintenance. This ease of use is particularly beneficial in applications requiring frequent adjustments or servicing.
Effective Sealing: When properly connected, camlock fittings form a tight, leak-resistant seal, minimising the risk of spills and contamination. This sealing performance is vital for maintaining fluid integrity and safety in critical environments.
Interchangeability: Designed to be compatible within their respective sizes and types, camlock fittings offer convenient interchangeability, allowing flexible integration with various systems and components, easing equipment setup and upkeep.
This kit includes Type D and Type E camlock fittings. A range of sizes is available to suit different needs.
