Camlocks need a gasket?

[arnobg]

Looking for some guidance as I am about to upgrade my BIAB setup by adding a pump and whirlpool port. I am going to use cam locks for all of the connections. Do I need any kind of gasket or O-Ring for these and would those come with each female cam if so?

Yes, definitely, you need a gasket. Yes, the female couplers come with them.
Preferentially, look for silicone gaskets/o-rings...

Cheers!

Yes you'll need gaskets and yes the females should come with them. Here's a gasket. You can find lots of cam lock options there too.

Bargain fittings sells good camlocks. I have bought others on ebay and they were hit of miss as far as quality. also as others mentioned the clear silicone gaskets are whay you want. I bought a few on ebay that had black rubber gaskets. duda diesel has an ebay store and decent fittins as well but bargain fittings has never done me wrong.

Do these clear silicone gaskets come with them or do I need to make sure and purchase those too?

every camlock fitting ive bought comes with the gasket inside it already. I always buy a couple spares though but so far after close to a hundred brews on the new system, they are doing fine
