Default Problem With NX Bottle Opener

Im trying to install my NX bottle opener and found that the opener wont fit over the valve. Am i supposed to buy a special adapter to put on the bottle or am i missing something from the kit???

I bought the kit some time ago and never got around to putting the opener on because i suffer from laziness. :yesnod:

Anyone know how much a new adapter fitting costs??

Yes..... Every part is NX.. I bought the Stage II system with everything u can have except for the Maximizer.. i was gonna get that, but i did not wanna rebuild my solenoids after 7 or 8 bottles .

Oh one more question.. When i do go to install the opener should i wire it up with a relay.. i really do not wanna put the opener on a relay if it doesnt need one. in my past experiences relays are always the first to go.. and right when i need the nitrous the most!! :yesnod:

sorry bout the pain n the azz with all the questions

You have to un-screw the little nut on top of the valve.

And my remote opener is wired directly to the NX Pannel switch without a relay.

You do not need any special adapter to get it to fit. Everything you need should come with the remote opener.

Too bad you're not local, otherwise I can help you get it installed in person.

From reading all the kill stories from Dallas folks under the "Kill" section, I wouldn't mind at all to live in Dallas. :D

Let me know if you need with the wiring.
