Lever Lock Couplings
Lever lock couplings - robust, fast-action connectors designed for heavy-duty hose systems. These couplings provide a secure, reliable seal via a manual lever mechanism, making them ideal for applications that demand frequent connection and disconnection under pressure.
Key Features & Benefits
- Quick-lock lever action: Allows rapid connection without the need for tools, reducing downtime.
- Versatile compatibility: Available in galvanised, ungalvanised or stainless steel finishes to match varied operating environments.
- Wide range of sizes: Suitable for hose diameters up to 8″ (internal).
- Applications: Ideal for use in water delivery, sewage, chemical transfer, oil, and fuel systems.
- Corrosion & chemical resistance: Stainless steel variants are especially suited for harsh or corrosive conditions.
- Accessory types: Various complementary products are offered, including end caps, strainers, bends (45° / 90°), unions, reducers, and closure rings.
Ideal Uses
Lever lock couplings are widely used across sectors such as:
- Irrigation, flood control, and agricultural pumping
- Civil engineering and dewatering
- Industrial and municipal wastewater systems
- Fuel, oil or chemical transfer plants
- Emergency services and disaster relief pumping
Choosing the Right Coupling
When selecting the correct lever lock coupling for your system, consider:
- Material compatibility: E.g. stainless steel for corrosion resistance, galvanised for general water applications.
- Internal diameter: Ensure coupling size matches your hose ID.
- Sealing elements: Check gasket type (e.g. EPDM, Viton) for compatibility with the fluid.
- Accessories & configurations: Required bends, unions, end fittings, strainers, or closure rings for your layout.
Bauer Compatible Range
Bauer compatible lever lock couplings offer all the reliability of the original Bauer design at a more cost-effective price. Fully interchangeable with Bauer fittings, they allow you to mix and match components without compatibility issues - perfect for maintaining or extending existing systems. Manufactured to high standards in galvanised or stainless steel, these couplings provide excellent durability and corrosion resistance in demanding environments. Their quick-action lever mechanism ensures a tight, leak-free connection while keeping setup and breakdown times to a minimum. Ideal for agricultural slurry transfer, irrigation, construction, and dewatering applications, our Bauer compatible range delivers robust performance, long service life, and outstanding value for money.
Why Choose Lever Lock Over Camlock?
While camlock couplings are popular for general fluid transfer, lever lock systems are often preferred for larger hose diameters and more demanding applications. The lever mechanism provides a stronger mechanical connection and greater tolerance to movement or misalignment - ideal for temporary setups, uneven ground, or mobile equipment such as slurry tankers and water pumps. Lever lock fittings are also better suited to handling higher flow rates and heavier-duty materials, making them a reliable choice for agriculture, dewatering, and construction sites. Their simple lever closure allows for quick, tool-free coupling, even when working with mud, debris, or gloves - conditions where camlocks can be more difficult to operate. In short, lever locks deliver superior strength, flexibility, and durability where toughness and practicality matter most.
