The Patented Anti-Rotation Pin type Gladhand has been specially designed by NovaFlex Hose company in response to glad hands breaking apart during normal train operation. |
||
|
Operation |
||
| The pin automatically extends and seals when the brake hoses are pressurized above 35 PSI. When the pressure is eliminated, the pin automatically retracts. Pressure can be vented by depressing the ping, permitting air to escape and allowing manual hose separation. The location of the pin allows for conventional uncoupling as would be done with a standard hose while pressurized. | ||
|
Safety Features |
||
| A specially designed patented bumper tab on the glad hand is positioned in such a way to protect the pin from anti-rotation damage. The bumper tab does not interfere with the manual coupling or uncoupling of the hose. | ||
| The anti-rotation pin is encased in a protective outer shell. This shell assembly extends slightly into the glad hand opening preventing glad-hand water pooling in stationary rail cars. | ||
|
|
||
|
As an added benefit, the in line anti-rotation pin works as an air pressure release valve for manually disconnecting the glad hands. |
||
|
Applications |
||
|
Novaflex hose airbrake assemblies equipped with the anti-rotation pin can be incorporated into all car styles including the Passenger Transit Industry. This assembly provides solution and safety that goes unsurpassed. |
