Glad Hand question

[Tinwoodsman]

I just received two new universal glad hands from George at White Owl truck parts. Do the same glad hands that are used at the rear air lines, the same ones that are on the trailer air lines? I am not sure whether there is a difference in the two.

I'm pretty sure that gladhands are genderless, and it doesn't matter what side you put them on. The inner gaskets are replaceable so you can color code them to be either service or emergency brakes.

The gladhands are the same. Same style used on 18-wheelers. The rubber seals on mine were cracked so I got a new set from NAPA.

I replaced my seals at NAPA also. It's best to take your old one with you as NAPA had an assortment of sizes available. NAPA only had black, but color coding might be a good thing.

Yeah , just to add you can get glad hands from just about anywhere so shop around and get the best price. -Jay
