Camlock couplings are an incredibly versatile and cost effective solution for connecting and disconnecting pipe and hose assemblies. They're used throughout a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, agriculture, oil, gas, chemical, pharmaceutical and military applications.
They're easy to use and require no tools for connecting or disconnecting the halves of the couplings. They're also extremely durable and can be used in a wide variety of environments, even dirty ones.

Materials:
Camlocks are available in a range of different materials, including stainless steel, aluminum and brass. Each material has its own benefits and unique features that make them perfect for specific applications.
Depending on the material, camlock couplings can handle temperatures from about 158degF up to 395degF. They can withstand pressures from several tens of bar and are resistant to most chemicals and acids.

Dimensions:
They are available in a number of different sizes, each with their own set of advantages and disadvantages. The size of the coupler determines how it fits onto the piping or hose it's connecting to.

Safety:
Another feature that can add peace of mind to a hose assembly is the presence of a safety clip, which prevents accidental disconnection of the couplers. The clip is often referred to as an "R-Clip" and can be found on all female couplers.
The most common application is connecting a hose to a pipe, although they can be used for many other things, too. They're an efficient and reliable solution that can save time and money by reducing downtime on fluid transfer operations.
