Emergency Gladhand for Air Brake Systems
The Velvac 035170 is an aluminium emergency gladhand designed for heavy-duty vehicle air brake connections. Its red colour identifies the emergency supply line on tractor-trailer combinations. This component suits fleet maintenance teams and owner-operators servicing commercial braking systems.
Critical Specification: 90 Degree Port Orientation
The defining feature is the 90 degree port angle with a 1/2 inch port size. This geometry dictates hose routing and fitment behind the cab or on the trailer frame. Installers must verify that the elbow orientation matches the existing plumbing layout before ordering.
Durable Aluminium Construction
The aluminium body resists corrosion from road salt and moisture encountered in daily commercial operation. The metal housing withstands normal system pressures without deformation. No moving parts or seals are described in the supplied data, so regular visual inspection remains the operator's responsibility.

Questions about this item
How does the 90-degree angle affect the emergency gladhand once it is installed on a trailer?
The 90-degree bend routes the air line away from the trailer face, reducing strain on the fitting and helping prevent kinks during coupling and uncoupling.
What does the 1/2-inch port specification cap in terms of air-line compatibility?
The 1/2-inch port accepts standard 1/2-inch NPT fittings used on heavy-duty trailer brake systems, limiting connection to that thread size.
What mounting hardware or clearance does the aluminium gladhand need to fit properly?
The unit threads directly into a 1/2-inch NPT port on the trailer emergency line; no separate bracket is required, only enough clearance for the 90-degree body to rotate clear of adjacent components.
