Special Cam And Groove
The special cam and groove coupling, also called a camlock fitting, is a special version of a hose and pipe coupling. It is a popular coupling range as in addition to allowing for quick connection and disconnection, these versions provide for the joining together of different hose and pipe sizes.

How do Cam and Groove Fittings Work?
- The typical connection comprises a male adapter and a female coupler, which are coupled together to form a sealed connection, connecting pipes and hoses together.
- A gasket is already installed in the female coupler, which creates an airtight seal against the face of the male adapter when in the closed position.
- No tools are required to make or undo the connection. They are quick and easy to use.
- Safety pins, also known as R-Clips are provided to keep the handles in a safe locked position.
