Camlock couplings, or cam lever coupler fittings (sometimes called cam and groove couplings) are quick-connecting plumbing fittings that work with a variety of fluids, pumps and equipment. They're available in multiple types, sizes and materials. Camlock couplers connect and disconnect easily without needing tools. They are ideal for transferring liquids from one container to another and are used across several industries including water, waste water, oil and gas and agriculture.
Stainless steel camlocks are corrosion resistant, can withstand high temperatures and are suitable for use in harsh chemicals. They're also easy to clean and are able to resist bacteria, fungus and mold. Stainless camlocks are most commonly found on tanks, IBC's and transfer pumps.
Aluminum camlocks are a lightweight, affordable alternative to metal couplings. They're compatible with a wide range of fluids and perform best when used with water, hydraulic oil and petroleum products. Trash pumps, general purpose pumps and transfer pumps all work well with these type of couplers. Aluminum camlocks are available in a range of sizes and psi ratings.
Brass is a cost effective and durable material that offers excellent corrosion resistance to salt water, oil and other corrosives. This makes it a great choice for marine applications and deep well operations. Brass camlocks are available in a range or sizes and can accommodate a wide range of chemical compositions.
Polypropylene is a durable and cost efficient alternative to metal camlocks. It's compatible with most chemicals and is well suited for use in agricultural, industrial and water and coolant applications. It's able to withstand a variety of temperatures and can be coated with PTFE or PVDF. These coatings offer additional resistance to abrasion, ozone, steam, strong acids and alkalis.
