Want to use this in the garage for a hockey horn Can this be used with a 120v air compressor and a 12v transformer?

I Cant see any reason that would not work, just use the 12 volts to operate the solenoid when you want to blow the horn. I have had this horn and on my ford F250 for 3 years now with zero problems.

I want to do the something but can I remove the 12v solenoid and use a 110v solenoid? How much psi can put thru these?

Yes. Its just a basic positive/negative solinoid. BUT this horn is EXTREAMLY loud. I'm not sure id put it in a closed space. I work in a truck yard and its louder then any truck I've ever heard.

I would not use this in a home because of 12V. I would purchase a regular home unit made for 110AC.

I don't think so. It comes with a 2 or 3 amp fuse as I recall. I had to put a 10 amp in to handle a portable 12 volt air compressor. For 300 watts at 12 volts the amperage would be 25 !!! I don't think the wiring or plug would handle that.

Yes, as long as your air compressor has the proper male 1/4" npt fitting on the outlet.

You have to look on compressor how much MFD/Volt of its capacitor. If it is the same, you can use it.

The compressor/tank is rated to 150 psi, so yes. I've only used it to inflate the tires on my motorhome to 90 psi, so I can't confirm that 120 is doable.

No. This is a 120 volt unit made for use in 120 volt countries. You can use a transformer with it.

My manual says it requires 120vac. If you have a transformer to step down your voltage, you could use it. I have no idea if this would be available but you could go to an electrical hardware shop and ask them.

Ohms law says amps X Volts = Watts, So with the information provided the compressor runs on 120 volts at 15 amps will be 1800 watts. However when this compressor motor starts under a load I'll bet it spikes upwards of 20 amps probably around 30 amps so if your going to use a power inverter to run this compressor better be a good one ! At least 3600 watts at the minimum

Can you please tell me what is the voltage listed on the outlet or under the compressor.

I would think yes, I haven't tried it but the clips are good quality so will go down to a small electrical fixing. The only proviso would be the current draw for the compressor, you would want to make sure any fused connection used was capable of the current required by the compressor.

Mark, I returned the compressor they suggested as it didn't work. I actually use a garage compressor and it works great. It will work with any compressor as long as it has the Psi needed.

I'm not sure - never used it on anything other than 120V, but my guess is that it would not work or this could also result in damage to the motor.

It is designed for 120 volt. If you have the right adapter ( transformer ) you probably could.

I wouldn't think so. I suggest that you contact the seller, they are very good responding on the phone. They may offer a transformer for your application.

Yes. I found that 120v works better than 18v for that application. Works either way, another great tool by DeWalt.

NO it's to small. You also need to remember that you will need a large Inverter probably 2000 watt or more to start the compressor. I am running a 130 watt refrigerator with 2 100 watt panels, and it's powered by a 750 watt Inverter that just starts it. My opinion is with today's technology it is not practical to run A/C.
