Brass 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.

Brass camlock fittings are the ideal choice when you need a durable, corrosion-resistant, and chemically stable connection for transferring fuels, oils, or water, particularly in marine or industrial environments. They sit between aluminium and stainless steel in terms of performance and price, offering excellent reliability with good resistance to corrosion and mechanical wear.

• Brass: Good corrosion resistance with excellent durability. Brass 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.
• 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.

In summary, brass camlock fittings are the preferred option for fuel, oil, and marine applications where corrosion resistance and long-term durability are essential. They offer a solid middle ground and are stronger and more resistant than aluminium, yet more affordable and easier to work with than stainless steel.

• Fuel & Oil Transfer Systems
  • Brass is highly resistant to hydrocarbons, making it perfect for diesel, petrol, kerosene, and lubricating oils.
  • Commonly used for refuelling operations, tanker connections, and storage tank offloading.
• Marine & Coastal Environments
  • Brass performs exceptionally well in saltwater and damp conditions, unlike aluminium, which corrodes in saline atmospheres.
  • Often used on boats, docks, and marine pumps for both fuel and water handling.
• Industrial Cleaning & Pressure Systems
  • Suitable for hot or cold water under moderate pressure.
  • Withstands mechanical stress better than polypropylene or nylon couplings.
• Outdoor & Harsh Environments
  • Resistant to corrosion from moisture and many mild chemicals, ensuring long service life even in exposed locations.
