Midland Industries E-CGC-800-A1 Type C Cam Groove Coupler

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES E-CGC-800-A1 is a Type C cam and groove coupler from the Economy Series, built for high-volume fluid transfer applications requiring a fast, secure connection. This fitting provides an 8-inch female coupler on one end and an 8-inch hose shank on the other, allowing direct coupling to compatible hose assemblies without tools. Constructed from aluminum, the coupler offers a practical balance of corrosion resistance and weight reduction. At 11.43 pounds, it is sized for industrial-duty use and is intended for installation by qualified plumbing, industrial piping, or fluid handling technicians.

Type C cam and groove couplers are widely used in industrial, agricultural, and municipal fluid transfer systems where quick-connect and disconnect capability is essential. The female coupler end accepts a standard male adapter, while the hose shank end accommodates barbed hose connections for secure hose attachment. This 8-inch size is appropriate for large-diameter transfer lines handling water, petroleum products, chemicals, or other compatible media in fixed or portable piping arrangements.

Key Features

• Type C configuration: 8-inch female coupler x 8-inch hose shank
• Aluminum construction for corrosion resistance and reduced weight

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for large-diameter cam and groove hose assemblies requiring a Type C female coupler to hose shank connection in aluminum construction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumbing or industrial piping technician familiar with cam and groove fitting standards. Ensure the mating male adapter is a compatible Type C design and that all cam arms are fully engaged and locked before pressurizing the line. Depressurize and drain the line completely before disconnecting or servicing the fitting. Verify that the coupler material is compatible with the fluid media being transferred prior to installation.
