Abstract
A gladhand assembly includes a gladhand that rotates about a first axis with respect to a sealed housing. The sealed housing includes a lever affixed to the first axis to rotate as the gladhand rotates. A stop within the sealed housing may be configured into an engaged position in which it engages with the lever to lock the gladhand into a fixed position in which the gladhand cannot be rotated about the first axis. In addition, the stop may be configured into a retracted position to permit the lever to rotate and allow the gladhand to be rotated into a deployed position.
