Graham White And Solenoid Valves

[@Rusty_Nickle]

If I may. They also have an electric ball valve. You just wire a two-way momentary switch for open and close. You just got to wire the switch for reverse polarity

[@texasboystv]

Link to said valve?

[@Rusty_Nickle]

@@texasboystv in case KZbin is still being funny about external links just type in electric ball valve. Amazon has a bunch of them. Just as a little electric actuator that opens and closes the ball valve. Actually I use it for controlling the heater temperature in my truck on the heater line. But considering you can feather it for that I don't see why it wouldn't work for an air horn. And then I've just got it set up to a two-way momentary switch so I can stop it where I want it

[@texasboystv]

Thanks. I’ll look into it

[@Rusty_Nickle]

@@texasboystv if you do it make sure you post it so I can see how it works because I'm considering using one

[@sepa2401]

I just got the horn blasters valve. They now come with the 2 springs like the GW 353.

[@texasboystv]

Let me know how it works!

[@sepa2401]

@@texasboystv It works very well. I like the edition of the cutout on the handle as it allows a pull chain to be used. It's basically the same as the GW 353 without the branding as well as slightly cheaper material. The handle is all one cast instead of the removeable rubber found on the GW.

[@texasboystv]

I guess I miss understood, the second spring was the one that was reported as being too stiff. Have you found the second stage to be very stiff?

[@sepa2401]

@@texasboystv The valve was pretty stiff out of the box, but with a week of constant use, the valve started to loosen up. The second spring is designed to be more stiff than the first stage. I mounted it to a portable air tank, and I have to hold onto the handle of the tank when pulling the valve (Which works well). I'd say as long as it's mounted to something solid, you're fine.

@user-zj5jm2zt3y Hmmmm I'm trying to decide now. lol. HB or Graham....

[@floridawashservicesllc1789]

Dude!! Thats a AWESOME but yet totally simple!

[@texasboystv]

Thanks man. I’ve seen other ways that were way more complex and pricey so I decided to try a different approach. I think it turned out well!

[@mikewoodbury7248]

Graham white all the way! It’s the only way to go!

[@AirchimeLTDproductions174]

Unless you get a Viloco or Whistle cord. Those two valves are undeniably some of the best.

[@chopper1588]

Awesome video thanks 👍

[@texasboystv]

You bet

[@greglambo3]

? If I run a 1/2 inch line to my horns for the tank replacing the 1/4 in would it be louder ? I'm thinking so but I'm not sure what size the inside of the sylinod but it's / sylinod is connected right to the 4 horns so maybe it's bigger than a 1/4?

[@texasboystv]

What horn do you have

[@greglambo3]

Vixen 4 horns 3 gallon tank at 200 psi not the greatest but at $300 plus all I could afford. Comes with like 1/4 inch line.

[@greglambo3]

It's pretty loud with a decent sound. Was thinking of putting in 1/2 in line to the horns.

[@texasboystv]

200 psi with more flow might tear up diaphragms. It would be louder until it isn’t.

[@greglambo3]

Ok so I should let it be.

[@cml13017]

I'm lil confused about solenoid that you used. So you got two solenoid can you give me diagram for one solenoid valve with full turn(90 degrees)

[@texasboystv]

I’m not sure what you mean

[@cml13017]

@@texasboystv sorry about that but your set up, is two solenoid am I rite ??

[@texasboystv]

Yes, one of which is followed by a ball valve to restrict flow

[@cml13017]

@@texasboystv ball valve idk where I connect that.. But would you able to draw me a diagram of Solenoid with ball valve please appreciate your time

[@bigsleeperstudios8865]

What horns are those on the bench?

[@texasboystv]

It’s a Nathan Airchime K3HA

[@texasboystv]

Do the valves actually SUCK OR BLOW!!!
