Q What is the working pressure range of KAMLOK? Specification
A.

It varies depending on the body material and size.

Q I would like to know the guideline for replacing the KAMLOK. Specification
A.

If the cam arm of the KAMLOK COUPLER feels loose or the liquid oozes, it is an indication to replace the gasket. If the cam arm feels loose even after replacing the gasket, it is due to wear, so replace it with a new KAMLOK adapter.

Q Is the flange in the KAMLOK with Flange set compliant with JIS 10K? Connection
A.

Models such as the KAMLOK 633LAS and 633LBS have a flange that is compliant with JIS 10K.

Q What is the difference between the KAMLOK 633-C and 633-CT, 633-E and 633-ET? Specification
A.

The difference between the KAMLOK 633-C and 633-CT is the difference in the outer diameter of the shank where the hose is inserted. The 633-CT is narrower than the 633-C and is used to be inserted into hoses that do not easily expand, such as suction hoses in general. If the size does not match, fluid leakage or coupling disconnection may occur. The same applies to the 633-E and 633-ET. Use the 633-E or 633-C for our hoses.

Q Can cam arms be replaced? Model lineup
A.

You can purchase a set containing a cam arm, pin and ring. Please let us know the material and size of your cam arm when ordering this.

Q Is there a hose that can be used for fuel oil? Fluid
A.

We do not provide hoses that can be used with fuel oil such as gasoline, light oil and heavy oil.

Q Can a 1/2″ coupler be connected to a 3/4″ adapter? Connection
A.

Yes, it can. The fitting areas of the 1/2″ coupler and 3/4″ adapter are the same size. Likewise, a 3/4″ coupler can be connected to a 1/2″ adapter.

Q Is the KAMLOK compatible with lever type coupling made by other companies? Connection
A.

MIL standard lever type couplings and KAMLOK are compatible. However, the gasket specifications are different between companies. Our warranty only covers fittings and gaskets of the same manufacturer. Make sure that the size and material are the same.

Q Are there any products such as lids to prevent foreign matter from entering into the KAMLOK couplings? Model lineup
A.

For each material, the Dust Cap 634-B is available for couplers and the Plug Cap 634-A for adapters. However, they cannot be used in applications where pressure is applied or to prevent leakage. It is only for protection from dust and foreign matter.

We provide a wide range of support from selecting ideal products for specific usage conditions to downloading certificates regarding laws and regulations, as well as downloading of materials such as catalogs.

You can download useful materials that address issues such as “leaks and disconnections”, “energy-saving measures”, and “odor and coloration.”

We use videos to introduce the benefits of using products and how to install them, which may be difficult to understand just using text and illustrations.

We have compiled frequently asked questions from customers in the “FAQ” section.

To assist you in making selections, we provide common examples of improvements for hoses and couplings through industry-based case studies.
