    Device (PRD) Bottle Safety Information Do not attempt to remove the bottle valve. Please return your bottle to Edelbrock if service is required to the siphon tube inside the bottle or the bottle valve itself. Never heat the outside of your nitrous bottle with an open flame like that of a torch.
  • Page 9: Bottle Orientation

    An Edelbrock nitrous bottle cannot be mounted upside-down. Edelbrock does not offer a non-siphon tube bottle for automotive use. If the bottle must be mounted parallel to the axles of the vehicle (sideways), the label must be angled at approximately 45 degrees toward the front of the vehicle.

    Nitrous Bottle Pressure...Always keep your bottle pressure between 900 and 950 psi. Yes, there are racers that use different pressures, but the testing we did here at Edelbrock to ensure the jetting maps within the manual are correct, was done in this pressure range. Use any higher pressure than 950 psi and you will be nitrous “rich”.
