Proven economy in reliable transfer of corrosive and hard to handle fluids
Camlock Fittings Technical Information
SNAPLOCK®
Couplings are
applicable to almost any
industry that uses liquids,
powders or gases.
PAINTS, INKS AND DYES
The manufacture of paints, inks & dyes involves frequent
change of hoses to find the correct mix. SNAPLOCK®
couplings can tolerate the collection of coatings without
detriment to the seal.
OIL DISTRIBUTION
In many countries, Cam &
Groove couplings are the
standard connection for hoses
used in the delivery of fuel to
service stations and domestic
premises. No tools are needed to
make the connection and the risk
of cross threading is avoided.

AGRICULTURE
SNAPLOCK® polypropylene couplings are
resistant to most acids
and are ideal as hose
connections on agricultural sprayers to save
time during refilling
of tanks.
CLEANING
Many industrial cleaning
products require hoses. In
this example, the hoses
can easily be disconnected
for storage to facilitate
transport or for removal in
the event of a blockage
occurring.
PUMP CONNECTIONS
SNAPLOCK® couplings are widely used at
the inlet & outlet connections of pumps. Here,
couplings are removing oil from the water’s
surface in an oil spill skimming system.

DRUM FILLING
Here the coupling is incorporated in a system
allowing for rapid filling of
chemical drums.
SNAPLOCK® couplings are
suitable for suction, delivery
and vacuum service.
MILITARY
Per the US military spec
MIL-C-27487
(A-A-59326), these
couplings are widely used
by NATO forces throughout the world to facilitate
rapid tactical deployment.
Aluminum, anodized
couplings to the full spec
can be supplied.
SNAPLOCK® COUPLINGS
Technical Information
How the coupling works
To connect, simply extend arms
and slip the Adapter smoothly
into the Coupler. Then press
the handles down with normal
hand pressure.
SPECIFICATIONS
The standard for cam action couplings has traditionally been based on the US Military
Specification, MIL-C-27487, which laid down the casting method, materials, dimensions,
tolerances, pressure ratings and inspection procedures. MIL-C-27487 guaranteed
interchangeability of products. MIL-C-27487 has now been declared obsolete, and
replaced by a new US Federal standard A-A-59326. It is easy to reduce the cost of
couplings by not machining adaptors, reducing wall thickness or by using casting methods
not approved by the specification. However, the potential additional cost of this is possible
leakage, reduced life and costly down time. Our metallic couplings are manufactured
fully in accordance with the dimensions and tolerances of MIL-C-27487/A-A-59326 and
pressure-tested to three times the recommended working pressure, with polypropylene
being pressure tested to twice its working pressure to allow for surges in the line and give
enhanced safety. All couplings are supplied with locking feature as standard. Safety
clips may be inserted to lock handles to prevent disconnection during product
transfer.

tend to move Coupler and
Adaptor apart increases
pressure on the face of cam
insuring increased locking
leverage. Safety locks are not
necessary under normal
conditions.

Note: The working pressures shown above are given for ambient temperatures using elastomeric seals.
Higher temperatures and/or PTFE seals will reduce the pressure rating of the coupling. In the case of
polypropylene the maximum working temperature is 158°F and at this temperature, the working
pressures above must be reduced by 40%.
*A four-handle high-pressure Coupler is available for some 6” parts.
CERTIFICATION
3. Adaptor and Coupler are
Full material certification is available if requested at the time of order. However, as most
parts are made for stock, contracts requiring certification will be subject to special
quotation and extended delivery.
designed to minimize
turbulence in gases, fluids and
abrasion from dry products at
the point of connections.
THREADS
Standard SNAPLOCK® couplings when fitted to nipples are designed to seal on the thread.
The male thread is therefore NPT and the female thread is also NPT.
OTHER END FITTINGS
Hosetail (double ribbed for metallic couplings, multi-serrated for polypropylene).
For flanged or weld ends, please see pages 5 - 8 for details.

Aluminum Couplings are gravity cast, except for size 5” which is sand cast.
Brass Couplings are either sand cast or forged.
Stainless Steel 316 Couplings are investment cast and may be electro-polished for sanitary applications, if required.
Polypropylene Couplings are manufactured from acid-resistant, glass-reinforced polypropylene.

Notes:
■ Parts in italics are not normally in stock. Please check with us for availability.
■ ½” metallic couplings have one handle. Also a true ½” body is not compatible with other manufacturers using a ¾” body
and ½” end.
■ On polypropylene parts, the ½” size has a ¾” body and the standard 1 ¼” size has a 1” body. Handles, gaskets, dust plugs
and caps are therefore ¾” and 1” respectively. The size 1¼” size with 1½” body is also available.

Dust Caps with Locking handles are also available. These handles may be padlocked for security.
Notes:
■ Parts in italics are not normally in stock. Please check with us for availability.
■ On polypropylene parts, the ½” size has a ¾” body and the standard 1 ¼” size has a 1” body. Handles, gaskets, dust plugs
and caps are therefore ¾” and 1” respectively. Size 1¼” with 1½” body is also available.

SOLIDS
Cam & Groove Couplings
are probably the world’s
most widely used
quick connect couplings
Aluminum couplings can be
used to join piping
carrying solids, powders or
pellets. The system can
then be easily disconnected
if blockages occur.
because of the great
variety of suitable
applications. This can be
best illustrated by looking
at a few uses within a
typical petrochemical
process plant.
TABLET PRESSES
For hygienic applications,
couplings can be electropolished and fitted with food
quality seals. The seals can
easily be removed for
steam cleaning.

PROCESS
SNAPLOCK® couplings are
particularly effective in
the rapid changing of lines
to mixing vessels in pilot
plants, saving time compared with flanged or
threaded fittings.
STORAGE
Cam & Groove couplings
are a standard option on
IBC containers to allow
rapid filling and emptying
even with aggressive
chemicals. Stainless Steel
or polypropylene couplings
are resistant to most acids
and corrosive solvents.
