Phillips Industries re-designed its poly seal with integrated dust flaps, making it easier to install with its slightly tapered lip. When not in use, a trailer’s air system can be contaminated with dust and debris entering through an unprotected gladhand.
To replace the need for a shutoff, Phillips said it worked with a major North American fleet to develop a more economical solution. The grey polyurethane dust flap integrated in the gladhand seal is used with a filter screen creating a barrier that catches dust and debris before it enters the air system, the company said.
The new grey dust flap seals (12-0167) and filter screens (12-038 and 12-039) are available from authorized Phillips distributors.
