WHAT IS A CAMLOCK FITTING?

The camlock hose fitting is the best priced of all the quick connect fittings available and widely used in Australia. This type of quick connection comprises two separate parts that couple together and are used to connect hose ends, tubes & pipes.

HOW THEY WORK

A male adaptor and a female coupler connect together to form a fixed connection that joins pipe or hose together. They require no tools to operate and are easy and quick to implement.

• The male adapter is inserted into the female coupler.
• The female coupler arms will rise slightly.
• The female coupler arms are then closed by applying hand pressure in towards the coupler body.

The camlock fitting remains united until both arms are released in an outward motion. The cam arms can be locked in place using the safety pins that are provided. For most situations they are not necessary and are only needed when extra precautions are required.

Inside the female camlock coupling there is a gasket already recessed in place. This forms a tight seal when it connects with the male adapter.
