Value Collection WS-HF-CAM-182 Cam Groove Coupling

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION WS-HF-CAM-182 is a Part C cam and groove coupling designed for fast, tool-free hose connections in fluid transfer applications. Built from aluminum, this female coupler hose shank accepts a male adapter on one end and a hose shank on the other, allowing quick connect and disconnect without threaded fittings. It is rated to 600 psi maximum working pressure, making it suitable for a wide range of liquid and dry-bulk transfer duties. Plumbers, irrigation contractors, industrial maintenance technicians, and fire suppression crews commonly specify cam groove fittings for their speed and reliability in high-cycle environments.

This coupling is well suited for use in fluid transfer lines, tank truck loading and unloading, chemical handling, water supply, and general industrial hose assemblies. The Part C designation identifies the female coupler with hose shank configuration, pairing with standard male cam groove adapters. It is appropriate for both permanent and temporary piping setups where repeated connection and disconnection is required. The aluminum construction keeps weight low while offering adequate corrosion resistance for many water-based and mild chemical service conditions.

Key Features

• Part C configuration: female coupler body with hose shank end for barb or clamp attachment
• 600 psi maximum working pressure rating for demanding fluid transfer service
• Aluminum construction provides a lightweight, corrosion-resistant body
• Cam and groove design enables tool-free, quick-connect and quick-disconnect operation
• Single-piece unit ships individually, no additional hardware required

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation cam and groove fitting compatible with standard Part C female coupler hose shank configurations across common cam groove systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by plumbers, pipefitters, or industrial maintenance technicians. Before connecting or disconnecting, relieve all line pressure and ensure the system is depressurized and drained as appropriate for the fluid being handled. Verify that the mating male adapter and hose shank size match this fitting before assembly, and inspect cam arms and gasket seat for wear or debris prior to each connection. Follow applicable OSHA and site-specific safety requirements when working with pressurized fluid systems.
