Midland Industries CGA-500-A1 Cam Groove Adapter 5in Aluminum

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES CGA-500-A1 is a Type A cam and groove adapter designed for quick-connect hose coupling applications. It features a 5-inch male adapter on one end and a 5-inch female NPT connection on the other, manufactured from aluminum for a lightweight yet durable build. This fitting bridges a cam and groove coupling system to a standard NPT-threaded port, making it a practical solution for fluid transfer lines in industrial and commercial settings. It carries a rated casting temperature range of -150 to 250 degrees F, covering most standard liquid and gas transfer service conditions. Plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians are the typical installers of this type of fitting.

This adapter is suited for use in bulk fluid transfer systems, tank truck connections, chemical handling lines, agricultural irrigation manifolds, and general industrial hose assemblies where a cam and groove coupling must interface with an NPT-threaded component. The 5-8 thread specification aligns with standard cam and groove sizing conventions. It is appropriate for both stationary and portable hose reel installations that operate within the rated temperature range.

Key Features

• Type A cam and groove configuration: male adapter end mates directly to a standard cam and groove female coupler
• 5-inch male adapter x 5-inch female NPT for full-bore, large-diameter flow paths
• Aluminum construction provides corrosion resistance and reduced weight compared to steel alternatives
• Rated casting temperature range of -150 to 250 degrees F for broad service compatibility
• 5-8 thread specification for proper fit within standard cam and groove sizing
• Minimum order quantity of 1 for single-unit replacement or repair needs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for large-diameter aluminum cam and groove coupling systems using Type A adapters with 5-inch female NPT-threaded port connections.

Installation Notes

Installation of cam and groove fittings and NPT connections should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or plumber following applicable codes such as the IPC and relevant ANSI/NAHAD cam and groove standards. Depressurize and drain the line completely before removing any existing fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant to the NPT threads before assembly, and inspect cam arms and grooves for wear or damage before coupling. Do not exceed the rated temperature range during service.
