Camlock Coupling

Camlock couplings, also known as cam and groove couplings, are a type of connection used in fire safety equipment such as hoses and nozzles. They are designed to quickly and easily connect and disconnect hoses or pipes with male and female ends together. Camlock couplings typically consist of two parts: a male adaptor and a female coupling, both of which have a cam or groove on the outside that allows them to be easily locked together. The male adaptor typically has a protruding cam, while the female coupling has a groove that matches the cam’s shape. When the two parts are pushed together and twisted, they lock securely in place. Camlock couplings are commonly made of durable materials such as aluminum, brass, or stainless steel, and are designed to withstand high pressure and intense heat. They are frequently used in firefighting applications due to their ease of use and reliability, and can be found in a variety of firefighting equipment, including hoses, pumps, and nozzles.
