Cam-Locks are wedges in a pivoting linkage used to lock a fitting onto a piece of pipe. As wedges are tightened down in the installation, specially designed "breakaway" nuts twist off, leaving the restraint permanently engaged with the pipe.
Smith-Blair Cam-Lock Joint Restraints save labor by providing superior restraint with fewer wedges and install on IPS size PVC without modifications. The Cam-Lock's lower bolt torque and wider wedges reduce pipe stress. Cam-Lock Features include color-coded nuts and wedges, epoxy coating, visible wedge engagement and longer T-bolts. Available in sizes 3" through 24".
Restraining pipe ends on mechanical joint fittings. A mechanical joint joins pipes or fittings together by the use of lugs and bolts.
