Midland Industries 39871 Universal Gladhand 1/2 in Fpt

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 39871 is a universal gladhand with an integrated filter, designed for use in air brake systems on commercial trucks, trailers, and heavy equipment. It features a 1/2-inch female pipe thread (FPT) connection and is constructed from aluminum for a lightweight, corrosion-resistant build. A black rubber seal is included to maintain an airtight connection between mating gladhand couplers. This fitting is installed by fleet mechanics, trailer technicians, and heavy-duty service professionals working on DOT-regulated air brake circuits.

This gladhand is suited for both service and emergency air line applications common in commercial trucking and trailer maintenance. The universal design allows it to connect with standard gladhand couplers found across a wide range of tractor and trailer configurations. It is a practical replacement or spare for shop stock in facilities that service Class 6, 7, and 8 vehicles.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified heavy-duty truck or trailer technician familiar with DOT air brake system requirements. Depressurize the air brake system fully before removing or installing any gladhand fitting. Apply thread sealant appropriate for air service to the FPT threads before assembly. Verify the rubber seal is properly seated before pressurizing the system and check all connections for leaks.
