Horn, Triple Round, Small 12V Solenoid 11.5”
Description:
-
Horn Type: Triple Round refers to a design where there are three separate horn chambers, each producing a different pitch. These three chambers work together to create a rich, multi-tonal sound. When activated, the sound is loud and distinct, making it effective for alerting other drivers or pedestrians.
-
Size: The 11.5-inch dimension refers to the length of the horn assembly, which is the total length of the horn from end to end. This size indicates that the horn is compact compared to larger, full-length air horns, but still capable of producing a loud and powerful sound. It is suitable for vehicles with limited space for mounting while still offering a strong auditory signal.
-
Voltage: The 12V designation indicates that the horn operates on a 12-volt electrical system, which is standard for most vehicles, including trucks, cars, and RVs. The horn is typically activated via a relay that is controlled by the vehicle's horn button or a separate switch, allowing the solenoid to engage and trigger the horn’s air valve.
-
Solenoid Operation: The solenoid in this horn refers to the electrical coil that, when energized, activates a mechanical valve to release compressed air into the horn chambers. The 12V solenoid is what enables the horn to work when the horn button is pressed. It serves as the electromagnet that opens the air valve, allowing compressed air to flow into the horn and produce sound.
-
Sound Output: Triple round horns typically produce a deep, resonant tone combined with higher-pitched sounds, giving a multi-tone effect that is attention-grabbing. The exact pitch and tone depend on the air pressure and the design of the chambers.
-
Material and Construction: These horns are usually made from heavy-duty materials like chrome-plated steel, brass, or aluminum, which are durable and resistant to corrosion. The chrome-plating or polished finish adds an aesthetic appeal while also offering resistance to weather elements like rain or snow.
-
Mounting: The horn assembly is generally mounted via a bracket or mounting hardware to the vehicle’s frame or bumper. Due to its compact size (11.5"), it is designed for easier installation in a variety of locations on vehicles like trucks or trailers where larger horns may not fit.
- Air Source: These horns require an air compressor and an air tank to function. The system uses compressed air to produce sound, which is why they are often referred to as air horns. The solenoid releases the air from the tank into the horn chambers when activated, producing the sound.
