Description
Cam & Groove Gasket Buna-N (NBR) Replacement Seals (BG Series)
Cam & Groove Buna-N Replacement Seals - BG Series are designed to replace worn or damaged sealing gaskets in compatible female cam & groove couplers. The gasket seats inside the female coupler and compresses against the mating male camlock adapter when the connection is secured.
Buna-N, also known as NBR or nitrile rubber, is commonly used for compatible oils, petroleum derivatives, greases, glycols, alcohols, water-transfer service, and general industrial fluid-handling applications. Always confirm gasket size, coupler compatibility, transferred media, pressure, temperature, and service requirements before installation.

Construction Details
The BG Series replacement seal is manufactured from Buna-N (NBR) nitrile rubber and is designed to seat inside a compatible female cam & groove coupler.
When the male camlock adapter is inserted into the female coupler and the cam arms are closed, the gasket is compressed against the mating sealing surface. This compression helps establish the seal between the two cam & groove components.
Replacement gaskets should be inspected regularly for cracking, cuts, swelling, flattening, hardening, deformation, chemical deterioration, or contamination that could interfere with proper sealing.
How the BG Series Camlock Gasket Works
Seats Inside the Female Coupler
The Buna-N gasket installs in the gasket seat of a compatible female cam & groove coupler and contacts the sealing face of the mating male adapter.
Compression Seal
Closing the cam arms draws the male adapter into the coupler and compresses the gasket to help create a secure seal at the camlock connection.
Buna-N (NBR) Gasket Material
Buna-N (NBR) is a nitrile rubber elastomer commonly used in fluid-transfer sealing applications. It is frequently selected for compatible petroleum derivatives, oils, greases, glycols, alcohols, and general industrial service.
Gasket compatibility depends on the actual operating environment. Verify Buna-N compatibility with the transferred media, chemical concentration, temperature, pressure, exposure time, and other system conditions before use.
Selecting the Correct BG Series Replacement Seal
| Selection Point | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Camlock Size | Match the BG Series seal to the compatible cam & groove coupler size. |
| Gasket Material | Confirm Buna-N (NBR) is appropriate for the application. |
| Transferred Media | Verify compatibility with the specific fluid being transferred. |
| Coupler Compatibility | Confirm the gasket profile and dimensions match the intended female camlock coupler. |
| Operating Conditions | Confirm pressure, temperature, and system requirements before installation. |

BG Series Gasket Maintenance
Cam & groove gaskets are wear components and should be included in routine inspection and maintenance programs.
- Inspect for cracking, cuts, or tears
- Check for swelling or softening
- Look for permanent flattening or deformation
- Inspect for hardening or loss of flexibility
- Check for chemical deterioration or contamination
- Replace the seal if leakage continues after proper coupling engagement
Buna-N vs. Other Camlock Gasket Materials
Buna-N (NBR)
Commonly selected for compatible petroleum derivatives, oils, greases, glycols, alcohols, water-transfer systems, and general industrial service.
Alternate Materials
FKM, PTFE, silicone, and other gasket materials may be preferred for different chemicals, temperatures, sanitary requirements, or operating conditions. Select gasket material based on the actual service application.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the BG Series gasket matches the cam & groove coupler size.
- Inspect and clean the gasket seat before installing the replacement seal.
- Seat the gasket evenly without twisting, pinching, or damaging the sealing surface.
- Never service or disconnect a camlock connection while the system is pressurized.
- Verify Buna-N, media, temperature, pressure, and complete system compatibility before use.
Our hose, fitting, and industrial product specialists can help review your camlock size, BG Series replacement seal requirements, Buna-N material compatibility, transferred media, and application before you order.

What is a BG Series Cam & Groove Replacement Seal?
It is a replacement gasket designed to seat inside a compatible female cam & groove coupler and seal against the mating male adapter.
What material is the BG Series gasket made from?
This BG Series replacement seal is made from Buna-N, also known as NBR or nitrile rubber.
Where is the replacement gasket installed?
The gasket installs inside the compatible female cam & groove coupler where it seals against the mating male camlock adapter.
What does Buna-N mean?
Buna-N is another name for NBR, or nitrile rubber, an elastomer commonly used in industrial sealing applications.
How do I choose the correct BG Series gasket size?
Match the replacement seal to the size and gasket requirements of the compatible female cam & groove coupler.
Is Buna-N suitable for petroleum-transfer applications?
Buna-N is commonly used with many compatible petroleum derivatives, oils, and greases. Always verify compatibility with the specific product and operating conditions before use.
When should a BG Series gasket be replaced?
Replace the gasket if it is cracked, cut, swollen, hardened, permanently deformed, chemically degraded, contaminated, or no longer provides a reliable seal.
Can the gasket be replaced while the system is pressurized?
No. Safely shut down, depressurize, and drain the system as appropriate before disconnecting the camlock fitting or servicing the gasket.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Replacement seal series is BG Series.
- Gasket material is Buna-N (NBR).
- Confirm the correct cam & groove coupler size before ordering.
- Never service a camlock connection while the system is pressurized.
