Camlock fittings, also known as cam and groove couplings, are one of the most popular types of quick connect hose fittings used in fluid transfer applications worldwide. They allow hoses, pipes, and tanks to be connected and disconnected rapidly without the need for tools, clamps, or threading.
How Camlock Couplings Work
A Camlock coupling works by inserting the male adapter into the female coupler, then locking the cam arms down. This motion creates a secure, leak-proof hose connection.
