Description - PTFE Lined Fixed or Swivelling Auto-locking Arm Cam Action Quick Release Fitting. The lock is released by pulling a wire ring horizontally away from the fitting, then using the ring to pull the arm open.  The lock is designed as a safety feature, to prevent accidental opening of the connection resulting from vibration or "tugging".

Specifications - Generally to Mil-C-27487 and DIN2828. (Fully interchangeable with other makes of Cam Action type quick-release fittings to these specifications).

Materials - Cam Action spigot in AISI 316 SS, ferrule in AISI 304 SS, standard gasket in buna N nitrile rubber, with alternatives available.

Alternative Gasket Materials - FEP-encapsulated Silicone Rubber Gasket. (Rubber fully encapsulated inside an FEP outer). Usable at temperatures up to 160°C. (Note: this type of gasket requires higher clamping forces than normal to ensure a positive seal.  Normally supplied with an aluminium or polypropylene male adaptor clamped in, to "pre-set" the gasket for easier use). Other types of gaskets are also available, including EPDM or Viton Rubber.

Note: If customers want to use their own gaskets, which are not supplied by Aflex, they must supply these gaskets with their order, so that Aflex can fit these gaskets, then test the hose assemblies before despatch.

Limitations - Usable at temperatures up to 100°C, but higher temperature use is possible, dependent upon the gasket materials.

Mating Connector - A wide variety of mating connectors are available, including BSP Female threaded adaptors and PTFE lined flange adaptors.

Maximum Working Pressures - All sizes 10 Bar (Test Pressure = 15 Bar). Higher Working Pressures up to 18 Bar are available to special order.

Other sizes available to special order.
