Camlocks are often referred to as Cam and Groove Couplings. This is because they are engineered with grooves that allow the various styles to fit together creating a tight seal.Their simple structure and easy operation make them very popular. Camlocks are connected by simply opening the coupler arms and inserting the adaptor into the coupler. As the arms are pushed down to the sides, the two connectors are forced tightly together creating the bonded seal on an internal gasket.
Camlock come in a variety of materials: aluminum, stainless steel, brass, polypropylene.
