3" Type E Camlock Coupling

Camlock fittings, commonly referred to as cam and groove couplings, are efficient quick-connect systems used to swiftly join and disconnect hoses or pipes in various fluid transfer operations. These fittings are composed of two primary components: a male adapter and a female coupler.

The male adapter features a groove around its outer edge, while the female coupler is equipped with cam arms. When these arms are pulled back, the male adapter can be inserted; once released, the arms lock the adapter in place to form a secure and reliable connection.

Widely utilised across sectors such as agriculture, petrochemicals, food processing, and chemical handling, Camlock fittings are ideal where regular connection and disconnection are needed without compromising performance or safety. They are available in different materials including aluminium, stainless steel, brass, and polypropylene. These particular fittings are made from polypropylene (PP), so please ensure this material is appropriate for your specific application.

Camlock fittings provide several key advantages that make them a preferred choice across industries:

• Fast and Effortless Connection: These fittings enable quick assembly and disassembly of hoses and pipes, significantly reducing setup and maintenance time — ideal for operations that require frequent changes.
• Leak-Proof Seal: When correctly engaged, Camlock fittings deliver a tight seal that minimises leaks and the risk of contamination, which is critical in sensitive or hazardous environments.
• Cross-Compatibility: Designed to be compatible within the same size and type, Camlock fittings support seamless integration across various systems, enhancing flexibility and ease of maintenance.
