Value Collection WS-HF-CAM-197 Cam Groove Coupling 3 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION WS-HF-CAM-197 is a Part F cam and groove coupling designed for fast, tool-free hose connections in fluid transfer systems. This male adapter features a 3-inch MNPT threaded end that mates to a standard female cam groove receiver. Constructed from 304-grade stainless steel, it handles maximum working pressures up to 500 psi, making it suitable for demanding industrial, agricultural, and chemical transfer applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and fluid handling technicians typically specify this style of fitting where quick-disconnect reliability and corrosion resistance are both required.

Part F cam groove couplings serve as the male adapter half of a cam and groove quick-connect pair, threaded on one end and grooved on the other. They are commonly installed on tank trucks, chemical transfer lines, irrigation manifolds, and industrial process piping where repeated connect-and-disconnect cycles are required without tools. The 3-inch thread size accommodates high-flow applications. This fitting is appropriate for both above-ground fixed piping and portable hose assemblies in commercial and industrial environments.

Key Features

• Sold individually — one fitting per package

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 3-inch cam and groove systems following MIL-C-27487 and similar industrial cam groove interchangeability standards where a Part F male adapter is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or plumber. Depressurize and drain the line fully before removing or installing any cam groove fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant to the MNPT threads in compliance with IPC or applicable local plumbing code. Inspect cam arms and sealing groove on the mating Part E or Part D receiver for wear before connecting; a damaged receiver groove can compromise the pressure rating of the assembly.
