CAMLOCK SPECIFICATIONS

The standard for cam action couplings has traditionally been based on the US Military Specification, MIL-C-27487, which laid down the casting method, materials, dimensions, tolerances, pressure ratings and inspection procedures. MIL-C-27487 guaranteed interchangeability of products. MIL-C-27487 has now been declared obsolete, and replaced by a new US Federal standard A-A-59326.  It is easy to reduce the cost of couplings by not machining adaptors, reducing wall thickness or by using casting methods not approved by the specification. However, the potential additional cost of this is possible leakage, reduced life and costly down time.  Our metallic couplings are manufactured fully in accordance with the dimensions and tolerances of MIL-C-27487/A-A-59326 and pressure-tested to three times the recommended working pressure, with polypropylene being pressure tested to twice its working pressure to allow for surges in the line and give enhanced safety. All couplings are supplied with locking feature as standard. Safety clips may be inserted to lock handles to prevent disconnection during product transfer.
