1/2" Camlock Coupling Type A

Camlock fittings, also called cam and groove couplings, are convenient quick-connect hose couplings designed for fast attachment and detachment of hoses or pipes across numerous fluid transfer applications. The system includes two main parts: a male adapter and a female coupler.

The male adapter features a groove-ring around its circumference, giving rise to the name "cam and groove," while the female coupler is equipped with cam arms. These arms can be pulled back to allow insertion of the male adapter, and upon release, they lock securely in place to form a reliable connection.

Widely utilised in industries such as agriculture, petroleum, chemical, and food processing, camlock fittings accommodate frequent hose or pipe connections and disconnections without sacrificing safety or operational efficiency. Available in materials like aluminium, stainless steel, brass, and polypropylene, these particular fittings are made from polypropylene (PP). Please verify that PP suits your specific application requirements.

Advantages of Camlock Fittings:

• Speedy and Simple Connection: Designed for quick assembly and disassembly, camlock fittings reduce setup and downtime, which is especially beneficial for tasks involving regular maintenance or equipment changes.
• Reliable Sealing: When correctly engaged, these fittings produce a tight seal to prevent leaks, minimising the risk of spills and contamination—essential where fluid purity and safety are critical.
• Interchangeable Components: Camlock fittings are engineered for compatibility within matching sizes and types, providing flexibility and ease in mixing and matching equipment components.

This item is a 1/2" Type A camlock fitting, characterised by a male adapter paired with a female BSP thread of the same size. The male adapter’s groove-ring design ensures efficient and secure connections, making these fittings ideal for linking hoses or pipes to tanks, pumps, or other fluid transfer machinery.
