Value Collection WS-HF-CAM-171 Cam Groove Coupling Brass

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION WS-HF-CAM-171 is a Part E cam and groove coupling designed for fast, tool-free hose connections in fluid transfer applications. Constructed from brass, this male adapter hose shank fitting connects a male cam groove coupler to a hose end, allowing quick connect and disconnect without threaded engagement at the cam side. It is rated to 500 psi maximum pressure, making it suitable for demanding liquid transfer tasks. Licensed plumbers, industrial maintenance technicians, and irrigation professionals typically specify this style of fitting where repeated coupling and uncoupling is required without compromising flow integrity.

Part E cam groove couplings are used in agricultural irrigation, chemical transfer, petroleum handling, and general industrial fluid systems. This brass construction makes it compatible with water, oil, and many chemical media where corrosion resistance and moderate pressure tolerance are priorities. The male adapter hose shank end connects directly to a hose tail, secured with a clamp or ferrule, while the cam grove end mates with a standard female coupler. Typical installation scenarios include pump discharge lines, tank truck fittings, and portable liquid transfer equipment.

Key Features

• Part E configuration: male cam groove body with hose shank end
• Brass construction for corrosion resistance and durability with water, oil, and mild chemical service
• 500 psi maximum pressure rating for demanding fluid transfer applications
• Tool-free cam and groove engagement for fast connect and disconnect cycles
• Hose shank end accepts standard hose clamp or ferrule for secure hose attachment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit addition for standard cam and groove fluid transfer systems using Part E male adapter hose shank fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by plumbers, pipefitters, or industrial maintenance technicians. Shut off and depressurize the fluid system completely before installing or removing any cam groove fitting. Secure the hose shank end to the hose tail with an appropriately sized hose clamp or swaged ferrule before pressurizing. Verify that the cam arms on the mating female coupler are fully engaged and locked before returning the system to service.
