- Features NYAB’s HI-FLO® lipguard, is offered with wide-lip gaskets, and is compatible with both wide-lip and standard gaskets.
Fewer unintended hose separations, more productivity
When hoses separate unintentionally, productivity drops as you seek to identify and correct the problem. With LOC-PAD glad hands, exclusively from NYAB, risk of accidental hose disconnects is reduced and your train keeps rolling.
