Value Collection WS-HF-CAM-071 Cam Groove Dust Cap

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION WS-HF-CAM-071 is an aluminum cam groove dust cap, also designated Part DC, designed to protect the female end of cam and groove adapters when the coupling is not in service. The dust cap threads or locks onto the adapter to seal the opening and prevent contamination from debris, dirt, and moisture. Rated to 500 psi maximum working pressure, this fitting is built for demanding fluid transfer applications in plumbing, industrial, and agricultural settings. Installation and removal require no tools — the cam arms engage and release manually, keeping downtime short during line changes or system maintenance.

Cam groove dust caps of this type are used wherever a cam and groove adapter is left open between connections. Common applications include tank trucks, irrigation systems, fuel transfer lines, chemical transfer setups, and general-purpose hose assemblies. The Part DC designation indicates this cap mates with the female end of a cam and groove adapter rather than a male coupler. This makes it suitable for both temporary capping during transport and routine service intervals in fixed piping and hose systems.

Key Features

• Aluminum construction provides corrosion resistance at a lower weight than steel alternatives
• 500 psi maximum working pressure supports high-demand fluid transfer service
• Part DC cam groove style — designed specifically as a dust cap for female cam and groove adapters
• Tool-free cam arm engagement for fast connection and disconnection in the field
• Single-unit packaging suits individual replacement and maintenance needs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement dust cap for standard cam and groove female adapters following the Part DC configuration used across industrial hose and fluid transfer systems.

Installation Notes

A licensed plumber or qualified industrial pipefitter should verify that the dust cap matches the adapter size and cam groove standard before installation. Depressurize and drain the line fully before removing or installing any cam groove fitting. Inspect the cam arms and the sealing gasket for wear or damage before placing the cap into service. Consult applicable codes, including the International Plumbing Code and relevant OSHA guidelines for chemical or fuel transfer applications, to confirm fitting suitability for the media being handled.
