Phillips Industries Adds Swinger Gladhand Option to AIR-DEFENSE In-Line Air Filtration System
Santa Fe Springs, CA (June 27, 2018) The newest product development from Phillips Industries, the AIR-DEFENSE Swinger System, is the next generation of in-line air brake system filtration products. It combines Phillips original AIR-DEFENSE System and a swinger gladhand into one, offering the best protection for commercial vehicle air lines.
Obstructed air lines have the potential to cause dangerous safety hazards and expensive, time-consuming repairs. The original AIR-DEFENSE System with replaceable Quick-Change Cartridge was created to keep the trailer air line brake system free of debris obstruction. It is comprised of two components, the anodized housing and one-piece screw-in filter with an easy to see service indicator. The Quick-Change Cartridge features a bypass mode which ensures complete airflow, even when the filter is full. A non-resettable red indicator on the bottom of the cartridge pops out as notification for replacement, which takes just minutes.
The new AIR-DEFENSE Swinger System combines this same technology with that of a swinger gladhand. The swinger gladhand swivels 180° side-to-side, keeping air lines kink-free during use, and when not in use automatically returns to the seal to protect the air lines. The AIR-DEFENSE Swinger System is available with one of the following gladhand options: straight service, straight emergency, QWIK-E®, or the swinger arm without a gladhand for customization. Installation of the entire AIR-DEFENSE Swinger System is as simple and easy as installing a standard swinger gladhand.
Specifying the AIR-DEFENSE Swinger System is an excellent choice that will maintain unrestricted air flow in the air line brake system, ultimately reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
