Overview
prEN 14420-7 (CEN) - "Hose fittings with clamp units - Part 7: Cam locking couplings" defines the design, materials, dimensions and marking requirements for cam locking couplings used as links between hoses and connections to transport liquids, solids and gases (excluding liquid gas and steam). The draft standard harmonises cam coupler geometry (levers, adapters, gaskets) to ensure leak-free operation and interchangeability of couplers and adapters from different manufacturers.
Key facts
- Applicable product: cam locking couplings (cam-lock)
- Scope excludes: liquid gas and steam applications
- Pressure ranges:
- Aluminium cast couplings (all sizes) and all DN 100 couplings: −0.8 bar to 10 bar
- Other couplings: 0.8 bar to 16 bar
- Working temperature for NBR gaskets: −20 °C to +65 °C
- Draft reference: prEN 14420-7:2025/2026 (supersedes EN 14420-7:2022)
Key topics and technical requirements
- Construction & interchangeability
- Harmonised curves for cam arms and adapters to minimise hose twisting and vibration-induced leakage.
- Cam arms must be manually operable without tools.
- Compatibility between couplers and adapters from different manufacturers is ensured if the standard is met; gasket interchangeability may be limited.
- Dimensions & types
- Detailed dimensional tables and figures for multiple coupler types (DF, BF, DW, CC, DC) and adapter types (AF, FF, AW, EC, DP) across DN sizes.
- Materials
- Material specifications for bodies, cam arms, pins, rings and gaskets (e.g., aluminium castings, copper alloys, stainless steels, NBR gasket material).
- Marking, testing & quality control
- Requirements for marking, type testing and factory quality control are specified to support traceability and performance verification.
- Normative references
- Cross-references to EN 14420-1/2/5 and material standards (EN 1706, EN 1982, EN 10088‑1, etc.).
Applications
- Transfer and coupling of liquids, powders and gases in industry, agriculture, transport and tank operations (excluding LPG and steam).
- Common in fuel, chemical, food (where material selection permits), and bulk handling systems where quick-connect/disconnect cam locking couplings are needed.
Who should use this standard
- Hose and coupling manufacturers, component designers and assemblers
- Procurement/specification engineers and purchasers specifying hose assemblies
- Testing laboratories and conformity assessors
- Maintenance, operations and safety engineers involved in hose system selection and replacement

MIL-C-27487, which fixes the coupling side in a limited way, but not the connection side. Other parts like
levers, bolts, ring and gaskets are not standardized.
1 Scope
This document specifies the design, materials, dimensions and marking requirements for cam locking
couplings that serve as the link between hoses and connections to transport liquids, solids and gases,
