Aluminium couplings
Lightweight, reliable and versatile
Aluminium couplings offer an optimal combination of weight savings and stability. They are ideal for applications that require robust connection technology without overloading the system – for example, in mobile hose lines, in the construction industry, in water distribution, in agricultural engineering or in industrial applications.
M+B Fluid offers a wide range of camlock, TW and Storz couplings made of die-cast aluminium, optionally with anti-corrosion coating.
Aluminium coupling systems at a glance
Camlock couplings (DIN EN 14420-7 / MIL A-A-59326A)
- Types A to F, also available with swivel design or lever lock
- For water, oils, glycol, air or neutral chemicals
- Lightweight – ideal for mobile applications
- Compatible with stainless steel, brass or plastic couplings
TW couplings (tank vehicle couplings in accordance with DIN 28450 / EN 14420-6)
- For loading and unloading tankers, IBCs or large containers
- Quick connection thanks to bayonet lock with clamping ring
- Standard in tank technology, agriculture, waste disposal
Storz couplings (DIN 14301–14308)
- Industrial design for water, air, slurry, slurry materials
- Lightweight and robust – even with large nominal diameters
- Preferred in firefighting technology, water logistics & construction
Technical characteristics
- Material: Die-cast aluminium / alloy EN AC-46100 or comparable
- Surface: optional natural, anodised or coated
- Seals: NBR, EPDM, FKM or silicone (also available in drinking water-compatible versions)
- Temperature resistance: approx . -20°C to +80°C (depending on medium)
