Steam Hoses and Steam Fittings

General purpose hoses are used in a wide variety of applications: for water, air, oil and fuel or slightly aggressive chemicals. This range comprises hoses made of PCV (polyvinyl chloride), rubber hoses and hoses made of many other materials. Some hoses, those compliant with hygiene requirements, can be also used to transfer foodstuffs. The hoses, however, shall always be used according to the recommendations given in the catalogue.

CAMLOCK couplings make a group of very popular, recognized and reliable couplings for application in industry, in particular in the oil and gas as well as chemical industry. The specifications for the couplings were first laid down in US military standard MIL-C-27487 ( A-A-59326), they are also defined by the European standards EN 14420-7 (former DIN 2828). With their simple design, CAMLOCK couplings are very user friendly. To connect, an adapter is simply inserted into a coupler with the cam arms extended. To lock the adapter in the coupler both cam arms must be pulled down at the same time. The cam arms engage in the groove of the adapter and thus block and press it tightly. A flat elastomeric seal in the groove of the coupler ensures leak tightness. A safety pin in the holes of the coupler can provide additional protection against accidental opening of the cam arms and against disconnection.
