Cam Locks

A cam lock fitting is a special metal connector designed for the hose and nozzle for fire hoses. The fire hose cam lock is manufactured by many different companies, each with different quality and safety standards. Lucky for you, Feld Fire has done the research to provide you with the best cam lock options. The best metal to be used for this important piece is bronze since it will not corrode when in contact with moisture.

Cam locks must also be able to tolerate extreme water pressure when in use. Safety pins have been incorporated into the design to prevent any accidental disconnection that leads to accidents. There are basically two types of threads that are used in cam locks. Both the pipe thread and the hose thread are extremely popular. The hose thread is straight and coarse whereas the pipe thread is straight and tapered with fine threads.

The fire hose cam lock also has a dust cap made from aluminum, stainless steel, and polypropylene. Dust plugs are also available in either of these three materials. The plugs allow for quick closure of the hose for liquids or solids.

Quality cam locks should always be used to ensure the least likelihood of any accidents taking place. Are you ready to get started on your order? Browse our selection below or give us a call today!
