Value Collection WS-HF-CAM-179 Cam Groove Coupling 1/2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION WS-HF-CAM-179 is a Part A cam groove coupling — a male adapter with FNPT (female NPT) thread — designed for quick-connect fluid transfer applications. Machined from aluminum, this fitting handles up to 600 psi maximum working pressure and accepts a 1/2-inch thread. Cam and groove couplings are a standard in bulk liquid handling, allowing fast, tool-free connection and disconnection between hose and pipe assemblies. This Part A style mates with a corresponding Part B coupler to form a complete cam-and-groove connection. Plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance techs regularly install this type of fitting on transfer hoses, tank outlets, and manifold systems.

This coupling is suited for use in residential and light commercial fluid transfer systems where quick disconnects are needed. Common applications include irrigation lines, chemical transfer, water supply manifolds, and agricultural hose assemblies. The 1/2-inch FNPT thread allows direct connection to standard female NPT pipe threads. The aluminum construction keeps weight low and provides adequate corrosion resistance for water and many mild chemical service environments.

Key Features

• Part A style male adapter with FNPT thread for cam-and-groove quick-connect systems
• 600 psi maximum working pressure rating
• 1/2-inch thread size for compatibility with standard NPT fittings
• Aluminum construction — lightweight with good corrosion resistance
• Tool-free connect and disconnect design reduces service time

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install cam groove Part A male adapter for standard 1/2-inch FNPT cam-and-groove coupling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a plumber or pipefitter. Before connecting or disconnecting, relieve all system pressure and confirm the line is depressurized. Apply thread sealant tape to the FNPT threads per IPC and manufacturer guidelines before engaging the fitting. Inspect cam arms and gasket seat on the mating Part B coupler before assembly to ensure a leak-free connection.
