NOTE:

 Please consult the Edelbrock System Installation 

Instructions for the proper way to interact safely with Nitrous 

Oxide. Please take all safety precautions when working on any 

nitrous oxide injection system. 

 

WARNINGS:

 

 

USE ONLY Teflon sealant for all tapered pipe threads.  
No sealant is required on AN flare fittings.  Do not use 

any oil on threads.  

This  gauge is supplied with a special restrictor fitting 

that 

must

 be installed on the braided line leading to 

the nitrous gauge. 

USE ONLY  -4AN Teflon lined high-pressure stainless 

steel-braided line when installing this gauge. All 

fittings must have a minimum  working pressure of 

2000 psi. 

 

Mechanical Section 

 

1.    If you are not familiar with nitrous oxide systems and 

their installations, do not install this gauge. Have a 

qualified technician install it for you. 

2.    Determine where the nitrous gauge will be mounted 

and the source of the pressure (bottle outlet or nitrous 

solenoid inlet fitting). Then determine the length of 

steel-braided line required. This line must be purchased 

due to the vast number of applications this gauge is 

used in.   

3.    Secure the -4AN stainless steel-braided line to the back 

of the gauge using included female fitting. 

4.    Install gauge in desired location. Gauges can be 

mounted in under dash panels or on window cowling. 

Mounting cups can also be used (Auto Meter #3203 or 

#3204). Secure gauge with mounting bracket provided. 

5.    Make sure the nitrous bottle valve is closed and all lines 

are free of pressure. 

6.    Secure  an in-line gauge adapter (not supplied) in a 

vice . Install the special restrictor fitting (supplied with 

gauge) in the in-line  gauge adapter. Be sure to use 

liquid Teflon sealant on all tapered pipe threads for a 

good seal.  No sealant is required on AN fittings.  Do 

not over tighten as this may result in stripped threads 

or a broken fitting. 

7.    Remove the main nitrous feed line from the bottle or 

the nitrous solenoid. Install the in-line gauge adapter 

with the special restrictor fitting either on the nitrous 

bottle or nitrous solenoid. Re-install the main nitrous 

feed line. Install the braided line from the nitrous 

gauge to the restrictor fitting. 

8. Reconnect all lines. 

9. Open the nitrous bottle valve and check for leaks.
