Collection: Camlocks

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.

Types of Camlock Fittings

Camlock fittings are available in several configurations to suit different hose and pipe connections

Type A Camlocks
Male adaptor with a female BSP thread, commonly used for connecting threaded pipework to camlock systems.

Type B Camlocks
Female coupler with a male BSP thread, ideal for connecting to threaded equipment and pipework.

Type C Camlocks
Female coupler with a hose tail, widely used for connecting flexible hoses to pumps and fluid transfer systems.

Type D Camlocks
Female coupler with a female BSP thread for joining threaded pipework and equipment.

Type E Camlocks
Male adaptor with a hose tail, designed for connecting hoses to existing camlock couplings.

Type F Camlocks
Male adaptor with a male BSP thread, commonly used where threaded pipe connections are required.

Dust Caps & Dust Plugs
Designed to protect camlock fittings from dirt, debris and contamination when disconnected, helping to extend service life and maintain system performance.

Camlock fittings are trusted across a wide range of industries thanks to their versatility, quick-connect design and reliable performance.

Common applications include:

• Agriculture – Irrigation, slurry handling and water distribution.
• Construction – Site dewatering, temporary water supplies and pumping applications.
• Chemical Processing – Safe transfer of chemicals and aggressive liquids.
• Food & Beverage – Hygienic fluid transfer using suitable stainless steel fittings.
• Manufacturing – Process water, industrial fluids and production systems.
• Marine – Water, fuel and chemical transfer in demanding environments.
• Oil & Gas – Fuel handling and petroleum transfer.
• Wastewater & Water Treatment – Pumping, drainage and treatment operations.

With a broad choice of materials and connection types, camlock couplings provide a reliable solution for almost any fluid transfer application.

Suitable for a wide range of industries, our camlock fittings are available in a wide range of sizes, thread types and materials to ensure compatibility with your existing hose assemblies and equipment. Browse our collection to find the right camlock fitting for your application.

Selecting the correct camlock fitting depends on your application, operating conditions and the type of media being transferred.

When choosing a camlock coupling, consider:

• Material – Aluminium, stainless steel, brass or polypropylene depending on corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility.
• Connection Type – Hose tail, male thread, female thread or adaptor.
• Size – Ensure the fitting matches your hose or pipe diameter.
• Pressure Rating – Choose a coupling suitable for your operating pressure.
• Media Compatibility – Water, chemicals, fuels, oils, powders or food products may require different materials.
• Operating Environment – Consider temperature, corrosion, hygiene requirements and exposure to harsh conditions.

By selecting the correct camlock fitting, you'll benefit from reliable, leak-resistant hose connections, improved efficiency and long-lasting performance. If you're unsure which camlock coupling is right for your application, our team is on hand to help you choose the most suitable solution.
