Our range includes camlock hose fittings, hose tails, threaded adaptors, dust caps, dust plugs and replacement components, available in a choice of aluminium, stainless steel, brass and polypropylene to suit different applications and operating environments. Whether you're transferring water, chemicals, fuels, oils or other fluids, camlock couplings provide a dependable solution for efficient fluid handling.
Camlocks, also known as camlock couplings, camlock fittings or cam and groove couplings, are quick-connect hose fittings used to securely connect hoses, pumps, tanks and pipework. Their simple yet effective cam arm locking mechanism creates a reliable, leak-resistant seal, enabling hoses to be connected and disconnected in seconds without the need for specialist tools.
Designed for fast installation and ease of use, camlock fittings are commonly used in fluid transfer systems where frequent hose changes are required. Their versatility, durability and wide range of sizes and materials make them a popular choice for transferring water, chemicals, fuels, oils, powders and other industrial media.
Camlock couplings are manufactured in several materials, including aluminium, stainless steel, brass and polypropylene, allowing users to choose the most suitable fitting based on pressure requirements, chemical compatibility, operating temperatures and environmental conditions.
