3.
Locate the bottle assembly
in the desired mounting location, ensuring that the location will provide easy access to the bottle valve,
hose connection, bracket clamp bolts to facilitate bottle changing and through hole of the blow-down tube.
4.
Use the assembled bottle/bracket unit as a pattern to mark for drilling the holes
. Drill four 11/32” holes in the mounting surface for
the bottle bracket bolts.
Make sure the holes are in a position that does not damage other components.
CAUTION! When drilling or punching holes for these fasteners, be aware what components, wires, hoses or fluid reservoirs
are located or routed behind the general area to avoid vehicle or equipment malfunction.
5.
Mount the brackets se
curely to the surface (recommended minimum of 5/16” bolts or No. 12 sheet metal screws).
6.
Secure the nitrous bottle in the mounting brackets and tighten the bracket clamps.
7.
If the nitrous bottle is mounting within the passenger compartment we highly recommend the use of a nitrous blow down tube
(16161NOS) and racer safety adapter (16169BNOS). Sold Separately.
2.4 Solenoid Fittings and Bracket Mounting
1.
Apply a small amount of PTFE thread sealant to the NPT threads of the
nitrous filter fitting
(blue straight fitting with screen) and
insert into the
IN
side of the blue nitrous solenoid. Use a bench vise to tighten the fitting at least 1-1/2 turns after finger tight. See
Figure 4
for alignment.
2.
Apply a small amount of PTFE thread sealant to the NPT threads of the
nitrous outlet fitting
(small brass fitting with blue b-nut
hose) and insert into the
OUT
side of the blue nitrous solenoid. Use a bench vise to tighten the fitting at least 1-1/2 turns after
finger tight. See
Figure 4
.

3.
Apply a small amount of PTFE thread sealant to the NPT threads of the
fuel filter fitting
(red straight fitting with screen) and insert
into the
IN
side of the red fuel solenoid. Use a bench vise to tighten the fitting at least 1-1/2 turns after finger tight,
Figure 5
.
4.
Apply a small amount of PTFE thread sealant to the NPT threads of the
brass hose end with red b-nut
and insert into the
OUT
side of the fuel solenoid. Use a bench vise to tighten the fitting at least 1-1/2 turns after finger tight, see
Figure 5
.
