Are Camlock Fittings Interchangeable?

Camlock fittings, in most cases, are interchangeable between well-trusted manufacturers. Some significantly larger than 6" or smaller than 1" may not be perfectly compatible. Standard sizes, from 1 1/2" to 6" with the exception of 5", are usually compatible regardless of domestic or global sourcing. Furthermore, domestically-manufactured cam locks generally exhibit better engineering tolerances and manufacturing finishes than their respective global counterparts.

We don't recommend mixing types of camlock materials, such as plastic or metal, as the weaker tensile strength of the two can result in connection failure.
