Camlock fittings, also known as cam and groove couplings, are quick-release hose connectors designed for fast and easy attachment and removal of hoses or pipes in a wide range of 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 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 securely in place, ensuring a strong connection.
These fittings are widely used across industries such as agriculture, petroleum, chemical processing, and food production, where frequent connection and disconnection is necessary without sacrificing safety or effectiveness. Please ensure that polypropylene (PP), the material of these fittings, is appropriate for your intended use.
Camlock fittings offer numerous advantages that contribute to their extensive popularity in various sectors:
Rapid and Simple Connection: They enable quick joining and separation of hoses or pipes, saving valuable time during installation and maintenance — especially beneficial in settings requiring frequent adjustments.
Secure Sealing: When correctly fitted, camlock couplings provide a tight, leak-proof seal that minimises the risk of spills and contamination — essential for maintaining fluid integrity and safety.
Interchangeability: These fittings are manufactured to be interchangeable within their sizes and types, allowing flexible compatibility across different systems and components, which simplifies equipment setup and upkeep.
This kit contains Type F and Type C camlock fittings. Various sizes are available to suit different requirements.
