Aluminium Camlock Fittings

Camlock hose fittings, also known as Cam-and-Groove Couplings, are quick-connect systems designed for securely and efficiently joining hoses or pipes. They enable the fast and reliable transfer of fluids, powders, or gases across a wide range of industrial applications.

Renowned for their simplicity, Camlock fittings require no tools for assembly or disassembly, making them ideal for operations where hoses are frequently connected and disconnected. With a variety of sizes and materials available, these fittings offer versatility, durability, and compatibility with diverse environments, including agriculture, food processing, chemical handling, and construction.

Aluminium camlock fittings strike an excellent balance between strength, weight, and cost, making them one of the most popular options across general-purpose fluid transfer applications. While not as chemically resistant as stainless steel or as inert as polypropylene, aluminium offers impressive versatility at a fraction of the cost and weight of metal alternatives.

• Aluminium: Lightweight, durable, and economical. Ideal for water, fuel, and mild chemical transfer where portability and ease of handling are priorities. Aluminium’s corrosion resistance suits outdoor and industrial use, though it’s not recommended for highly acidic or caustic substances.
• Stainless Steel: Exceptional strength and chemical resistance. Best for aggressive chemicals, high-pressure systems, and hygienic or food-grade environments. However, it’s heavier and more expensive than aluminium.
• Brass: Good corrosion resistance with excellent durability. Performs well in marine and fuel applications, a great cost-effective choice for use with saltwater.
• Polypropylene: Lightweight and highly chemical-resistant. Suited for lower-pressure and non-abrasive applications. Less robust mechanically, so not suitable for heavy-duty or high-temperature use.

In short, aluminium camlocks are a versatile middle ground, offering durability, corrosion resistance, and ease of use without the higher cost or weight of stainless steel or brass, and with better mechanical strength than plastic alternatives.

Aluminium camlock fittings are best chosen when you need a strong, lightweight, and cost-effective coupling for non-aggressive fluids and general industrial environments. They excel in applications where stainless steel would be unnecessarily heavy or costly, and where plastic fittings might not offer enough strength or temperature resistance.

• Water Transfer & Irrigation Systems
  • Perfect for connecting pumps, hoses and tanks in agriculture, horticulture and construction
  • Lightweight design allows easy handling and frequent coupling/decoupling
• Fuel & Oil Transfer (Non-corrosive)
  • Suitable for petroleum, diesel and light oils where stainless steel isn't required
  • Aluminium resists corrosion from hydrocarbons and maintains reliable sealing
• Construction & Site Dewatering
  • Frequently used on pumps and hoses for site drainage and temporary water removal
  • Quick-connect design saves time when moving or reconfiguring hose runs
• Marine & Outdoor Use (Non-saltwater)
  • Performs well in outdoor conditions and humid environments
  • Avoid continuous contact with saltwater; use brass or stainless steel instead for this
