Double tap fuse adapter

I have added an air horn to my vehicle's horn circuit. I have done this by using a double tap on the horn fuse so the horn is activated by the vehicle's horn. The vehicle horn takes a 15 amp fuse while the air horn draws 20 amp. My question is, can I put a 20 amp fuse in the top of the adapter and the 15 amp in the bottom for the vehicle horn. The tap adapter came with 15 and 20 amp fuses. I don't want to burn the wires to the Vehicles horn. Thank you

I have tried to add a photo of the tap but the link on your website it does not work for me. I ordered it from Amazon and it is the micro2 fuse tap.

Looks good except you need to solder and shrink wrap the connection. Do not use the butt connector. They are no good.

Again, make sure the wire feeding the fuse is larger than the wires you are using.
