HOSE COUPLINGS & FITTINGS

• Cam & groove couplings. Also called Camlock fittings, these common couplings are a simple yet reliable way to connect and disconnect hoses quickly without tools. The levers pull down, bringing the adapter into position in the seal, and then form a tightly locked joint.

​

• Universal air hose fittings. Universal air hose fittings, or Chicago-style “Claw” fittings, join air hoses with compressed air supply equipment and other air lines and tools for pneumatic applications. These versatile fittings allow the coupling of hoses with different diameters, quickly joining two couplings together with a one-quarter twist.

​

• Crimp sleeves and adapters. Crimp sleeves involve using a crimping machine or tool and a selected die to safely attach a hose for an assembly to a fitting. One crucial factor to consider when using a sleeve or hose adapter is that the pressure rating of the chosen sleeve must match that of the hose and fitting.

​

• KC nipples. KC nipples (also king or combination nipples) are versatile hose fittings for transitioning from a hose end to a male NPT thread on equipment like strainers, valves, or Camlock fittings. These couplings allow the connection of two fittings, one on each end, and are suitable for low-pressure service.

• Coupling accessories and replacement parts. Replacement parts include a range of fitting accessories, such as complete handle assemblies or parts, coupling gaskets, chains with “S” hooks, and stainless steel coupling pins, finger rings, and locking clips.
