A gladhand connector comprising:

• a housing having:
• a base including:
• a first surface and a second surface;
• an air hose connector clamp on the first surface;
• and
• a first access port extending from the first surface toward the second surface;
• a second access port;
• wherein the access ports are in fluid communication with an intermediate conduit configured to direct air received from an air hose through the housing;
• a receptacle adjacent the first access port and in fluid communication with one of the access ports, wherein the receptacle is configured to receive a pressure sensitive, removable and replaceable filter assembly configured to filter debris;
• and
• a mounting bracket extending from the base configured to be attached to a vehicle;
• wherein the intermediate conduit is in fluid communication with the receptacle via one end of the intermediate conduit, and the intermediate conduit is secured to the mounting bracket via another end of the intermediate conduit to prevent air from exiting the mounting bracket, and
• wherein the filter assembly is configured to be displaced by air pressure of received air to allow the received air to bypass the filter assembly.
