A sonic horn system requires additional accessories in order to be fully
operational. These accessories, which consist of solenoid valves, filters,
regulators, ball valves, air hoses, mounting plates, etc., can be purchased from
Martin Engineering. These accessories are packaged in kits for convenience
and are ordered separately from the sonic horn assembly. Contact Martin
