Metal cam-and-groove couplings have better durability than plastic cam-and-groove couplings.

Couplings are plastic, which is lighter in weight than metal cam-and-groove hose couplings. They consist of a plug and a socket that connect and disconnect quickly. Use them if you need frequent access to a line. To connect, insert the plug into the socket and push the levers down.

Made of ductile iron, these couplings are tough enough to handle sand, cement, and other abrasive solids and slurries. Use their cam-and-groove fittings to quickly connect and disconnect medium- to large-diameter hose lines.
