They come in polypropolene, aluminium and stainless steel.


I've been thinking about using camlocks for a while after seeing them at beer belly. It just gets expensive quickly with all the fittings, in saying that i didn't realise you could get plastic ones so that would make it a lot cheaper.
I mainly wanna use the fittings for connecting my pump n stuff

Hey stretch, try paramount browns down caven road they sometimes have cheap poly camlocks. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Only thing is I'm not sure how small you can get camlocks, i think 3/4 is the smallest.

I have found the plastic ones are more expensive than the diecast aluminium ones wether bought at Purple Pig or Aquatrad.
The plastic are easier to use and don't corrode, so probably the better option. You can get them down to 1/2 inch.
