Camlock couplings provide a fast, leak-proof connection for fluid handling systems across a variety of industries, including petroleum, chemical processing, food manufacturing, agriculture, and well drilling. These couplings are trusted for their simple operation—just insert the adapter into the coupler and close the cam arms to lock the connection in place. At Cole Industrial, we offer a comprehensive selection of Camlock couplings in a wide range of materials and configurations to meet your project’s unique requirements.
Type A Camlock Couplings – Male Adapter x Female NPT
Type A Camlock couplings feature a male adapter on one end and a female NPT thread on the other. These are commonly used to connect a female coupler to a threaded pipe or hose. The Type A design is ideal for situations where a secure, quick-connect solution is needed between a hose line and a rigid threaded connection point. Cole Industrial stocks these fittings in multiple materials including aluminum, stainless steel, brass, and polypropylene to suit both industrial and chemical environments.
Type B – Female Coupler x Male NPT
Type B Camlock couplings consist of a female coupler with cam arms and a male NPT thread. This configuration is frequently used to attach a hose to a threaded outlet or tank. The cam arms create a secure lock, while the male thread offers compatibility with common industrial plumbing systems. Cole Industrial offers Type B fittings from trusted brands like PT Coupling and Banjo, ensuring reliable sealing under pressure.
Type C – Female Coupler x Hose Shank
Type C Camlock couplings include a female coupler with cam arms on one end and a hose shank on the other. These are used to connect a hose to a male adapter or another coupling type. The hose shank is designed to be clamped into a hose, providing a dependable connection point for fluid transfer. This type is especially useful in applications requiring frequent hose disconnection and reconnection.
Type D – Female Coupler x Female NPT
Type D Camlock couplings offer a female coupler with cam arms and a female NPT thread. This makes them ideal for use when connecting a male-threaded pipe or fitting to a coupling system. These fittings are frequently seen in chemical processing, water transfer, and low-pressure systems where speed and reliability are crucial. Cole Industrial stocks Type D fittings in corrosion-resistant materials suitable for both harsh and sanitary environments.
Type E – Male Adapter x Hose Shank
Type E Camlock couplings consist of a male adapter and a hose shank. These are designed for use with Type C, B, or D couplers. The hose shank end provides a firm grip when clamped into a hose, while the male adapter connects securely to the corresponding female coupler. This type is ideal for field setups requiring mobility and fast transitions between hose lines.
Type F – Male Adapter x Male NPT
Type F Camlock couplings feature a male adapter on one end and a male NPT thread on the other. This design allows for direct connection into threaded pipe or equipment while still maintaining quick-connect capability with a female coupler. These are a go-to solution for rigid installations in fuel transfer, well drilling, or plant operations.
Type DC – Dust Cap for Female Coupler
Type DC Camlock couplings are designed to cover and protect the male adapter end when it’s not in use. The cam arms allow the cap to be securely latched over the adapter to prevent contamination, fluid loss, or damage. These are essential for maintaining a clean system in food processing, chemical, and agricultural operations.
Type DP – Dust Plug for Male Adapter
Type DP Camlock couplings serve as dust plugs for female couplers, preventing debris or environmental contaminants from entering the line when it’s disconnected. These are particularly useful in outdoor environments or mobile systems where lines are often exposed to the elements.
