A gladhand connector or gladhand coupler is an interlocking hose coupling fitted to hoses supplying pressurized air from a tractor unit to air brakes on a semi-trailer,[1] or from a locomotive to railway air brakes on railroad cars.[2] Gladhand connectors resemble a pair of "hands shaking" when interlocked, hence the name.[1]
