Not happy at all , the brand new valve leaks, The air compressor constantly comes on to recharge the bottle for my horn system.

Very big beefy solienoid only downside was there is no mounting tabs so you have to figure a way out to mount it

Amazing quality. Supplies a ton of air to my train horns. Make sure you close that hole off were the wires come out so water cant come in. Other than cheaping out on that id buy it again and probably will in the future.

Was able to mount near the train horn, no need for a lot of 1/2″tubing

I have hornblasters and the solenoid that came with them failed on my 2 times in 12 months. That’s why I went with this one and so far this is great. Its much crisper than the one that I got with my kit and is giving me such a better sound.

This product supercedes any of my expectations. Operating at a higher psi than rated and works perfect. Great product!
