Quick Couplings
Quick couplings provide immediate, perfectly sealed junction between the two tubes. They have some types from A to F and made of different raw materials such as PP, aluminium, SS… Regarding pretreatment processes, couplings made of PP material are widely preferred with SS handles,pins,rings or with PP handles.
Camlock couplings have two kinds of adapter: male and female. During the process of installation, no tools are required and hand pressure is enough. Hence, camlock couplings are not only save time but also the tools ad human power. However, Camlocks are not suitable for any kinds of hose. It is forbidden to be used in compressed air, gas or high pressure applicatons.
The camlock couplings, in general , have 8 types including 4 types male parts and 4 types female parts
Types:
A TYPE adapter : material PP, size 1/2″ to 4″
B TYPE coupler : material PP, handles PP/SS, safety pin SS, size 1/2″ to 4″
C TYPE coupler : material PP, handles PP/SS, safety pin SS, size 1/2″ to 4″
D TYPE coupler : material PP, handles PP/SS, safety pin SS, size 1/2″ to 4″
E TYPE adapter : material PP, size 1/2″ to 4″
F TYPE adapter : material PP, size 1/2″ to 4″
DC TYPE (dust cap) coupler : material PP, handles PP/SS, safety pin SS, size 1/2″ to 4″
DP TYPE (dust plug) adapter : material PP, size 1/2″ to 4″
General usage area: Polypropylene quick couplings are typically used in low pressure suction or discharge hoses of firefighting pumps, IBC containers and other applications where need quick connect or disconnect operations. PP camlocks have an excellent chemical resistance to most aggressive chemicals and corrosive solvents.
Advantages :
* Excellent chemical resistance
* Economical option for quick hose coupling
* No tools needed
* Connect or disconnect in an easy way
** Temperature range : -15 F° to + 200 F° (water) *** Working pressure : depends on size and temperature
