Falcon Safety Products Sound Alert Signal Horn FSA6, 6 oz Boat Air Horn, USCG Compliant to 65 Feet

The Falcon Safety Products Sound Alert Signal Horn (FSA6) is a compressed-air signal horn built for boating and sporting events where flammability of the propellant is not a primary concern. It uses HFC152a, the same propellant Falcon has relied on in its Dust-Off product line, and the horn has been tested to deliver consistent, effective blasts throughout the life of the can.

Each 6.0 oz can produces a piercing 120 dB blast measured at 10 feet and delivers up to 58 blasts per can, giving boaters a reliable way to signal distress or warn other vessels. The Falcon Sound Alert Signal Horn meets US Coast Guard sound-signaling requirements for boats up to 65 feet (20 meters), making it suitable as a compliant audible signaling device aboard recreational and small commercial boats.

The HFC152a propellant used in this horn has a low Global Warming Potential (GWP), though it is flammable, so it should be kept away from open flame and extreme heat. When the can is empty, a refill is available so the horn housing can be reused rather than replaced.
