Hose Coupling
Camlock Coupling
The camlock coupling connects and disconnects hose and pipe with two cam arms, no tools and no threading.
Product Overview
What This Hose Is Built To Do
The camlock coupling connects and disconnects hose and pipe with two cam arms, no tools and no threading. It is made to MIL-C-27487F in aluminium, brass, stainless steel or PP, cast or forged, in 1 to 12 inch (DN25 to DN300). Four material options let the same fitting standard be used on water, fuel, chemicals and food-adjacent duty by changing only the material.
Key Benefits
- Made to MIL-C-27487F, the standard most global camlock equipment follows
- Four materials so one fitting standard covers water, fuel, chemical and corrosive duty
- Tool-free connection with two cam arms, operable with gloves
- 1 to 12 inch range from small transfer lines to large bore discharge

Manufacturing and Quality
How It Is Made and Checked
Casting or forging. Every manufacturing process complies with the ISO 9001 standard.
- All raw materials approved by the Department of Quality Control
- Yarn strength and skein consistency verified before weaving
- Every manufacturing process complies with the ISO 9001 standard
- All hoses tested at the test pressure
- Layflat hose held at 1.5 times working pressure for 2 hours before shipment
- Trace number recorded for production date, employees and raw material sources
Customization Options
- Colour made to order alongside the standard range
- OEM and ODM printing of your brand, with exclusive protection of your designs
- Length cut to the run you specify rather than a fixed stock length
- Couplings fitted before shipment and pressure tested as one assembly
Use Guide
- Choose the material for the fluid: aluminium for water, stainless for corrosives, brass and PP for specific chemistry
- Check both cam arms are fully closed before pressurising
- Replace the gasket when it hardens or takes a permanent set
- Do not mix materials across a joint where galvanic corrosion is a risk
- Cap open ends so the sealing face stays clean
