How do you connect and disconnect A camlock fitting?
To connect and disconnect: Reverse the process to disconnect the fitting making sure before doing so that the hose assembly has been de-pressurised. Measuring a metallic camlock fitting is reasonably easy.
Are there any limitations with using camlocks in assemblies?
Between manufacturers, cam & groove couplings are interchangeable with the exception of ½” (12.5mm), 5” and 8”. The A-A-59326A Mil Specification does not apply to 5” and 8” cam & groove couplings due to the presence of two versions of cam & groove couplings in today’s market. Are There Any Limitations with Using Camlocks in Assemblies?
What kind of environment does a camlock system work in?
