Camlock fittings, also known as cam and groove couplings, are fast and convenient hose connectors designed for quick attachment and detachment of hoses or pipes in various fluid transfer applications. Each fitting consists of two main parts: a male adapter and a female coupler.
The male adapter features a groove-ring around its circumference, giving the name "cam and groove," while the female coupler is equipped with cam arms that, when pulled back, allow insertion of the male adapter. Releasing the arms locks the connection securely in place.
Widely used in industries such as agriculture, petroleum, chemical, and food processing, camlock fittings support frequent connections and disconnections without sacrificing safety or efficiency. Available in materials including aluminium, stainless steel, brass, and polypropylene, these particular fittings are made from polypropylene (PP); please confirm this material suits your application.
Benefits of Camlock Fittings:
-
Fast and Simple Connection: Enables rapid coupling and uncoupling of hoses or pipes, reducing setup and breakdown time, which is especially beneficial for applications with frequent maintenance or changes.
-
Reliable Sealing: Provides a tight seal when properly connected, preventing leaks and minimising the risk of spills or contamination—essential where fluid purity and safety are critical.
-
Interchangeable Design: Manufactured for compatibility within matching sizes and types, allowing easy integration with various equipment and systems, enhancing flexibility and ease of use.
This is a 1/2" Type C camlock fitting, featuring a female camlock coupler with cam arms and a hose barb end of the same size. These fittings are ideal for securely connecting hoses to pipes or other fittings, commonly used in situations requiring leak-proof, dependable hose connections.
