Grover Air Horns

[Archive]

Horns work, sound great, and I love them.
Driving down the road, the compressor cycles about once every 12 to 15 minutes regardless of whether or not I use the horn. So I figure I have a leak in the system.
Who did you talk to at Rickson's? Joe

When I installed my Grovers, I was paranoid about having a leak and the compressor running all night. So I disconnected the power to the compressor and let it sit the rest of the afternoon and all night till the next morning. Later the next morning I hooked up the compressor again and it didn't even try to come on. I sounded the horns just to make sure the compressor was working and all is well.

I thought that the compressor might come on since it was 80F when it filled the tank up the afternoon before and was 40F that next morning, but I don't know how much pressure would fluctuate +/-40F.

I did opt to not using the fittings that came with the kit. I used Parker push lock type brass fittings to allow me easy disconnect and reconnect of the hoses if needed. I use them on every piece of equipment at work and they're very durable.

I was just thinking about what if we could change the pitch or tone of the horns by changing the diaphram spring to one with a different rate? I might try it and see.

Papa Joe, At work there's so much running that an air leak is inaudible. If spraying Windex fails to show the leak, we squirt some Marvel Mystery oil in the primary air fitting and wait a little while till the culprit starts puking the red fluid leaving us with a tell tale sign that's not hard to find. In some High pressure situations it spews a pink cloud which also is hard to miss.
