Midland Industries DA-6040-AA Cam Groove Reducer Adapter

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES DA-6040-AA is a Type DA cam and groove reducer coupler/adapter designed for fluid transfer applications that require a step-down connection between two different hose or pipe sizes. The fitting connects a 6-inch female coupler on one end to a 4-inch male adapter on the other, making it suitable for reducing flow line diameter without additional hardware. Constructed from aluminum, it carries a maximum operating pressure of 75 psi and a gasket temperature rating of -40 to 212 degrees F. Plumbers, industrial maintenance technicians, and fluid-handling contractors install this type of fitting when transitioning between mismatched line sizes in cam-and-groove systems.

This fitting is used in industrial, agricultural, municipal, and general fluid transfer applications where cam and groove quick-connect systems are in service. The reducer configuration is common in tank truck, irrigation, and bulk liquid handling setups where a larger supply line feeds into a smaller distribution line. The aluminum construction makes it appropriate for water, petroleum products, and many chemical fluids compatible with aluminum and standard cam-and-groove gasket materials. Both connections follow standard Type DA cam and groove dimensional specs, ensuring interchangeability with other compliant fittings in the system.

Key Features

• Type DA cam and groove configuration with 6-inch female coupler inlet and 4-inch male adapter outlet
• Aluminum construction for lightweight, corrosion-resistant service in fluid transfer lines
• Maximum operating pressure of 75 psi for general-duty liquid handling
• Gasket temperature range of -40 to 212 degrees F suits a wide range of operating environments
• Reducer design eliminates the need for separate reducer bushings or extra fittings at the transition point

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use fitting for aluminum cam and groove systems requiring a Type DA reducer connection between 6-inch and 4-inch lines.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified plumbing or industrial fluid-handling technicians. Before connecting or disconnecting cam and groove fittings, relieve all line pressure and verify the system is depressurized. Inspect the gasket for wear or chemical incompatibility before assembly, and replace if damaged. Follow applicable plumbing codes and the fitting manufacturer's pressure and temperature derating guidelines for the specific fluid being handled.
