Description:
Camlock fittings are made in accordance with EN 14420-7 standards (DIN 2828). They are used for hose-to-hose or hose-to-pipe connections when transferring liquids. These fittings are commonly known as Ever-tite, camlock fittings or camlock couplings. Camlock fittings are suitable for liquids application or dry bulk products, but not recommended for gas and steam application. Camlock couplings are available in four materials: Aluminum, Steel, Stainless Steel, and Brass. The working pressure for cam lock fittings are up to 250 PSI. Connections of cam lock fittings are available in threaded end (BSPP/NPT) or hose shank for different equipment connection. |
