The Hidden Costs of Running Worn Glad Hand Seals
A small air leak at the glad hand might not seem like a big problem. Your compressor can usually keep up. But here is what it is actually costing you.
Premature Compressor Failure
I have replaced compressors that were destroyed because they were constantly trying to compensate for leaking glad hand seals.
Increased Fuel Consumption
Your compressor works harder, which burns more fuel over thousands of miles.
DOT Violations
Leaking glad hands are an easy out-of-service item during inspections.
Replacing seals regularly is far cheaper than dealing with compressor failures or roadside breakdowns.
