Built with a metal body and chrome plating, this normally-closed valve stays sealed until energized by a 12V signal, giving precise, repeatable horn actuation without the leaks or restrictions common to cheaper fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow quickly will this valve activate my horn?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe VXA7164 is a fast-response 12V solenoid engineered to open immediately when energized, minimizing lag between pressing the switch and horn sound. Its improved high-flow inner core reduces turbulence and pressure drop so your horn receives strong, consistent airflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e12V normally-closed design for instant opening under power\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-flow interior lets maximum air pass to the horn\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOptimized for minimal activation lag and clear horn output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat pressure and hose sizes does this valve support?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis valve is rated for up to 200 PSI, making it suitable for most automotive and truck train horn systems.
