Bottle Orientation - Edelbrock 70080 Manual

2.2

Bottle Orientation

Bottle placement is critical to the performance of your nitrous system. It is important to understand how the bottle valve
and siphon tube are assembled to properly orient the bottle in your vehicle and ensure that it picks up liquid nitrous while
undergoing acceleration. All nitrous bottles are assembled so that the bottom of the siphon tube is at the bottom of the
bottle, opposite the bottle label.
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. This orientation will position the siphon tube toward the rear
and pointing to the lower rear-facing quadrant of the bottle. All of this positioning information is critical to system
operation. It is most important to draw as much liquid nitrous as possible. The siphon tube cannot do this unless the bottle
is positioned correctly.

The most efficient mounting is the lay-down position with the valve
handle toward the front of the vehicle. This position allows the greatest
amount of liquid to be used before the siphon tube begins to pick up
gaseous nitrous oxide.
