Banjo Poly Camlock Fittings are glass-reinforced polypropylene cam-and-groove couplings built for soft wash rigs running SH. The poly body and EPDM gasket won't corrode in bleach the way aluminum camlocks do, the failure mode that pits and seizes cheap fittings on a chem line within a season.
Key Features
-
Glass-reinforced polypropylene body: Holds up to sodium hypochlorite and surfactants without corroding. It's the correct material for a bleach line, where aluminum camlocks fail fast.
-
EPDM gasket in every Socket: The gasket is rated for SH and seats in the female coupler half. Sockets ship with it installed; Plugs mate against it, so you run one gasket per coupled pair.
-
Stainless steel cam arms: Resist corrosion in a wet bleach environment that pits plated or aluminum hardware.
-
Tool-free cam-and-groove connection: Drop the Plug into the Socket, pull the two arms down, and it's sealed. No threading for hose swaps or end-of-day flushing.
-
3/4" camlock interface across all 8 variants: Every Socket and Plug inter-mates, even the 1/2" port sizes, so you can run barb and threaded ends on the same rig.
-
Made in USA, built to mil-spec: MIL-C-27487 / A-A-59326 cam and groove, not out-of-tolerance import poly that runs brittle.

What's Included
- One poly camlock fitting per quantity ordered, in the type and size you select
- Socket (female coupler) variants include an EPDM gasket. Plug (male adapter) variants ship without one, since the gasket seats in the Socket half
Every variant mates to any opposite-gender 3/4" camlock built to MIL-C-27487 / A-A-59326, including other poly brands like Dixon and PT Coupling. Match a Socket to a Plug of the same camlock size. Don't couple poly to a metal camlock; the harder metal can crack the poly half. These fittings aren't for compressed air or steam.
How It Works
The Plug (male adapter) slides into the Socket (female coupler). Pull the two cam arms down and they cam against the adapter's groove, compressing the EPDM gasket into a leak-free seal. No tools, no threads. Lift the arms to break the joint.
On a soft wash rig the couplings sit at the hose-to-pump, hose-to-tank, and reel junctions so you can break the system down and flush SH out of the lines at the end of the day. Rinse with fresh water after each use to get the most life out of the gasket.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are poly camlocks safe for sodium hypochlorite?
Yes. Both the polypropylene body and the EPDM gasket are rated compatible with SH, so they're the right pairing for a soft wash chem line. Aluminum camlocks are the opposite. Run bleach through aluminum and it corrodes and fails quickly.
Which camlock type do I need?
Match gender and end style. A Socket (female coupler) accepts a Plug (male adapter) of the same camlock size, and every variant here shares a 3/4" camlock end. Pick the Socket or Plug whose other end matches your line: a hose barb for slip-on hose, or an NPT thread for pipe and threaded fittings.
Why does a 1/2" fitting have 3/4" camlock ends?
On Banjo's 1/2" parts, only the thread or barb end is 1/2". The camlock end is still 3/4". That's why a variant reads "1/2" Barb x 3/4" Socket." It means a 1/2" hose barb on one side and a 3/4" camlock on the other, so it mates with the rest of the 3/4" camlock line.
