Camlock, or cam and groove fittings, are a quick connect system used to couple at least one hose to a pump or pipe, as well as to attach other camlock hoses together. Camlock couplings always require one male adapter and one female coupler. They are designed to be easy to use, with no need for thread sealants or tape to create a seal. Instead, cam lock seals are created by the rubber gasket. When closing the arms on the female coupling, the rubber gasket is compressed by the male adapter, which creates a pressurized connection. This action prevents leakage.
