Lightning 45 Deg. Bottle Valve - 10lb.

The NITROUS EXPRESS Lightning 45 Degree Bottle Valve for 10lb. nitrous oxide bottles is a precision-engineered component designed for nitrous oxide delivery systems in high-performance automotive and motorsports applications. This valve serves as the critical interface between the nitrous bottle and the fuel system, controlling flow rate and pressure delivery with the 45-degree angle orientation optimized for underhood installation clearance. The aluminum construction with black anodized finish provides corrosion resistance and durability in engine bay environments where temperature fluctuations and moisture exposure are constant factors.

The 45-degree pickup tube design enables flexible hose routing in space-constrained engine compartments while maintaining proper liquid draw from the bottle. This orientation reduces installation complexity and supports optimal system plumbing without excessive hose bends that could restrict flow or create pressure spikes. The valve's specifications—engineered for 10lb. bottle compatibility—ensure precise pressure regulation and metering accuracy critical to nitrous oxide system performance. The black anodized finish resists oxidation and maintains appearance through repeated thermal cycles common in performance driving scenarios.

This valve is intended for experienced nitrous oxide system builders and performance engine tuners who require reliable bottle valve hardware for street and race applications. Proper installation requires understanding of nitrous oxide system architecture, correct hose sizing, and pressure relief configuration. The valve should be installed only by individuals familiar with high-pressure gas system safety standards and local regulations governing nitrous oxide use in vehicles. Compatibility with existing system components—including regulators, solenoids, and fuel lines—must be verified before installation.

Nitrous Express has established market presence as a manufacturer of nitrous oxide delivery system components for the automotive performance aftermarket. The Lightning series represents their standard valve offering for direct bottle mounting applications. When selecting bottle valve hardware, confirm compatibility with your bottle size (10lb. in this case), mounting angle requirements, and system pressure rating to ensure safe and effective operation.
