Description
Silicone Gasket Cam & Groove Couplers Locking Arms
Silicone Gaskets for Cam & Groove Couplers with Locking Arms are replacement sealing components designed for compatible female camlock couplers. The gasket seats inside the coupler and seals against the mating male cam & groove adapter when the locking arms are engaged.
Silicone gasket material is commonly selected for compatible fluid-transfer applications where flexibility and temperature resistance are important. Always confirm gasket size, coupler compatibility, media compatibility, pressure, temperature, and application requirements before installation.

Construction Details
This replacement gasket is manufactured from silicone and is designed to seat inside a compatible female cam & groove coupler.
When the mating male adapter is inserted into the coupler and the locking cam arms are closed, the gasket is compressed between the sealing surfaces to help create a secure connection.
Gaskets are wear components and should be inspected regularly for cuts, cracking, deformation, swelling, contamination, or other deterioration that could affect sealing performance.
How the Camlock Gasket Works
Inside the Female Coupler
The silicone gasket seats inside the female cam & groove coupler where it contacts the sealing surface of the mating male adapter.
Locking Arm Compression
Closing the locking cam arms draws the male adapter into the coupler and compresses the gasket to help establish the seal between the two fittings.
Silicone Gasket Material
Silicone is an elastomer commonly used in sealing applications where flexibility and temperature resistance are important considerations.
The correct gasket material depends on the actual service conditions. Confirm silicone compatibility with the specific fluid, concentration, operating temperature, pressure, cleaning process, and other system requirements before use.
Locking Arm Cam & Groove Couplers
Female Camlock Connection
The gasket is installed inside the female cam & groove coupler where the mating male adapter enters the connection.
Locking Cam Arms
Locking arms help secure the coupler to the mating male adapter and reduce the chance of unintended arm movement during service.
Selecting the Correct Replacement Gasket
| Selection Point | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Camlock Size | Match the gasket to the size of the compatible cam & groove coupler. |
| Coupler Style | Confirm compatibility with the intended locking-arm female camlock coupler. |
| Gasket Material | Confirm silicone is the required sealing material for the application. |
| Transferred Media | Verify silicone compatibility with the actual fluid or material being transferred. |
| Operating Conditions | Confirm temperature, pressure, and service requirements of the complete connection. |

When to Replace a Camlock Gasket
Cam & groove gaskets should be inspected during routine hose and fitting maintenance. Replace the gasket when its condition could prevent the coupler from sealing correctly.
- Visible cuts, tears, or cracking
- Permanent flattening or deformation
- Swelling or softening
- Hardening or loss of flexibility
- Chemical or thermal deterioration
- Persistent leakage at the camlock connection
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the gasket matches the size and style of the cam & groove coupler.
- Inspect and clean the gasket seat before installing the replacement gasket.
- Make sure the gasket is seated evenly and is not twisted, pinched, or damaged.
- Never service or disconnect a camlock connection while the system is pressurized.
- Verify silicone, media, temperature, pressure, and complete system compatibility before use.
Our hose, fitting, and industrial product specialists can help review your camlock size, locking-arm coupler configuration, silicone gasket requirements, media compatibility, and fluid-transfer application before you order.

What is this silicone cam & groove gasket used for?
It is a replacement sealing gasket designed for compatible female cam & groove couplers with locking arms.
Where is the gasket installed?
The gasket seats inside the female camlock coupler where it seals against the mating male cam & groove adapter.
What are locking cam arms?
Locking cam arms are designed to help secure the female coupler to the mating male adapter and reduce unintended arm movement during service.
What material is this gasket made from?
This replacement gasket is made from silicone.
How do I select the correct gasket size?
Match the replacement gasket to the size and gasket profile required by the compatible female cam & groove coupler.
Can silicone be used with every fluid?
No. Verify silicone compatibility with the specific fluid, concentration, operating temperature, pressure, cleaning process, and other service conditions before use.
When should the gasket be replaced?
Replace the gasket if it is cut, cracked, swollen, hardened, permanently deformed, chemically damaged, 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 replacing the gasket.
