Value Collection WS-HF-CAM-157 Cam Groove Coupling 3 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION WS-HF-CAM-157 is a Part F cam and groove coupling designed for fast, tool-free hose connections in fluid transfer applications. Constructed from aluminum, this male adapter features MNPT (Male National Pipe Thread) threading in a 3-inch size and is rated to a maximum working pressure of 500 psi. The coupling weighs 1.14 pounds and is intended for installation by plumbers, industrial pipefitters, and maintenance professionals working on liquid transfer lines in commercial and industrial settings.

Part F cam groove couplings function as the male adapter half of a cam and groove connection, threading into a female-threaded fitting or valve on one end while accepting a cam groove coupler on the other. This style is commonly used in agriculture, chemical transfer, petroleum distribution, and general industrial fluid handling systems where quick-disconnect capability reduces downtime during hose changes. The aluminum construction makes it well-suited for water, mild chemicals, and light petroleum service where weight savings and corrosion resistance are priorities.

Key Features

• Part F cam and groove style: male adapter with MNPT thread for direct connection to female-threaded ports
• Aluminum construction provides corrosion resistance and reduced weight compared to steel alternatives
• 3-inch thread size accommodates high-flow transfer line requirements
• 500 psi maximum working pressure rating supports demanding fluid transfer service
• Tool-free cam and groove engagement speeds up hose connection and disconnection

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation Part F cam groove coupling for 3-inch MNPT female-threaded fittings, valves, and manifolds used in industrial fluid transfer systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters following applicable IPC guidelines. Depressurize and drain the line completely before removing any existing coupling or fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the MNPT threads before threading into the mating female port. Verify pressure ratings of all connected components are compatible with system operating pressure before returning the line to service.
