Product Overview
The 316 Stainless Steel F-Type Quick Coupling (also known as 316 SS F-Type Quick Disconnect Coupling, Stainless Steel Camlock Coupling Type F, or F-Type Male Camlock Adapter) is a high-performance quick-release coupling designed for rapid connection and disconnection of hose and piping systems in demanding industrial environments.
Manufactured from premium AISI 316 stainless steel, this F-type quick coupling offers exceptional corrosion resistance, high-temperature capability, and long service life. The Type F quick release coupling features a male adapter with male thread configuration (available in BSPT, BSPP, or NPT threads), making it an ideal choice for fluid transfer applications across chemical processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, marine systems, oil and gas operations, and water treatment facilities.
Our 316 stainless steel F-type quick connector complies with MIL-C-27487F / A-A-59326 standards, ensuring full interchangeability with other manufacturers' cam and groove couplings of the same specification. This stainless steel quick disconnect coupling is available in sizes ranging from 1/2" to 6" (DN15 to DN150).

Performance Advantages
Superior Corrosion Resistance
316 stainless steel contains higher nickel and chromium content compared to 304 SS, making it ideal for highly corrosive environments and resistant to scaling up to 1600°F (871°C). This corrosion-resistant quick coupling performs exceptionally well with salt water, wastewater, chemicals, hydraulic oils, and coolants.
01
Rapid Connection & Disconnection
The quick release camlock coupling enables tool-free, one-handed operation that saves significant time and labor during connection and disconnection of fluid lines. This quick connect coupling features a cam arm locking mechanism with detent positions that help prevent accidental release.
02
Leak-Free Performance
The stainless steel quick coupler is designed with precision-machined sealing surfaces and optional shut-off valve configurations to minimize fluid loss and prevent spillage during disconnection.
03
Versatile Seal Compatibility
Available with NBR seals (-20°C to +100°C), FKM/Viton seals (-25°C to +150°C), and EPDM seals for compatibility with a wide range of media including water, steam, air, chemicals, oils, and corrosive fluids.
04
Long Service Life
Precision casting or forged construction ensures durability and extended operational life even under rigorous conditions.
05
