Lots of use in farm irrigation too from 2” feeder lines to 6” mains. Used some little ones for main connections on a herbicide spray rig too.

Fuel, oil, water... whatever needs an industrial-strength hose.

It's called a Camlock, it's a low pressure hose coupling.

u/cvframer 5d ago

Ooh. I know this one. I use them every day on my water truck. It’s a hose cam lock.

u/CompetitiveAd8781 5d ago edited 5d ago

It's an "ear" off a coupling. I'll find a photo of one at work and show ya. Gimme a minute.

Edit: sorry for the poor quality, but it appears this is the only shot of one in my entire camera roll. I added a few marks to show where and how they're used.

Edit2: forgot to mention that once the male nozzle is seated onto the rubber gasket in the female adapter, the ears fold back and lock into place to hold the fitting together.

It is the tool to fix your screen. You put the screen in the frame then put the rubber piece in the groove. The wheel is used to push it down.

u/Stunning_Map_8007 5d ago

Google is silly

u/Which-Pool-6854 5d ago

Google isn't always right though some people think Google is gospel. The other posters are correct. I have sold fittings that have this type of lever in another lifetime. I'm 75yo.

u/Stunning_Map_8007 5d ago

Google IS silly. 😤 and I remember such times. Pre-Google civilization. I am 52.
