Collection: Waterson Saflok Cam & Groove Couplings

Cam and groove couplings, also known as cam and groove fittings or camlock couplings, are quick-connect hose couplings that allow hoses, pumps and pipework to be connected quickly without the need for tools. Their simple cam arm locking mechanism creates a secure, leak-resistant connection, making them one of the most widely used hose coupling systems across industrial fluid transfer applications.

Waterson Saflok cam and groove couplings build on this proven design by incorporating a patented self-locking mechanism. Once the cam arms are closed, they automatically lock into position, helping to prevent accidental opening caused by vibration, impact or operator error while remaining fully compatible with standard cam and groove adaptors manufactured to A-A-59326 and EN 14420-7 standards.

Manufactured from 316 stainless steel, these couplings offer excellent corrosion resistance and long service life, making them ideal for harsh industrial environments where safety and reliability are essential.

Our range of Waterson Saflok cam and groove fittings includes a variety of configurations to suit different hose assemblies and pipework connections.

• Type A Cam & Groove Couplings – Male adaptor with female BSP thread.
• Type B Cam & Groove Couplings – Female coupler with male BSP thread.
• Type C Cam & Groove Couplings – Female coupler with hose tail.
• Type D Cam & Groove Couplings – Female coupler with female BSP thread.
• Type E Cam & Groove Couplings – Male adaptor with hose tail.
• Type F Cam & Groove Couplings – Male adaptor with male BSP thread.
• Weld End Fittings – Permanent stainless steel pipe connections.
• Dust Caps & Dust Plugs – Protect couplings from contamination when disconnected.

Every fitting is manufactured from high-quality 316 stainless steel and incorporates the patented Saflok self-locking mechanism for enhanced connection security.

Cam and groove couplings are widely used wherever quick, secure hose connections are required.

Common applications include:

• Chemical Processing

• Industrial Manufacturing
• Tanker Loading & Unloading
• Water & Wastewater Treatment

Why Choose Waterson Saflok Cam & Groove Couplings?

Standard cam and groove fittings provide fast and reliable hose connections, but in applications subject to vibration, movement or accidental impact, an unlocked cam arm can present a safety risk.

Waterson Saflok couplings feature patented self-locking cam arms that automatically engage when closed, helping to reduce the risk of accidental disconnection while maintaining the familiar operation of traditional cam and groove couplings. Because they are manufactured to recognised international standards, they remain compatible with standard cam and groove adaptors, allowing you to upgrade safety without replacing your existing hose system.

Selecting the correct cam and groove coupling helps ensure safe, reliable and efficient fluid transfer.

When choosing your fitting, consider:

• The required coupling type (A, B, C, D, E or F).
• Hose size and thread connection.
• Operating pressure and temperature.
• The media being transferred.
• Material compatibility and corrosion resistance.
• Whether enhanced connection security is required.

For applications where accidental hose disconnection could lead to product loss, safety risks or environmental incidents, Waterson Saflok stainless steel camlock fittings provide additional peace of mind through their patented self-locking design while remaining compatible with standard cam and groove systems.
