question about wiring the purge solinoid Hey guys, I came up with this diagram and wanted to run it by you guys first before I set it up. Will this diagram be ok? If not, what will be better? Also, what is the best wire to tap into for the power supply? Thanks!

I would prefer the purge run off the N2O system main on switch.
It would suck to lose a bottle or get a face full because someone leans on or shorts the push button.

I run the little baby solenoid, so I just use a push button, with the power coming from my switch panel.
Any other solenoid, I would definitely use a relay, but I did an amp draw and it was tiny, well under the switch ratings

The purge I have is one of yours. Its the big show one. After doing a little digging I think it does need a relay. Is this correct? Any info on the relay and wiring will be awesome. Thanks! Sorry Im a noob when it comes to nitrous.

I'm not in a real car, (Pro-Mod, Top Sportsman) and the purge is on the column, so when I get in or out,
take the wheel off, I hang it from the column, and it can hit the button.
Plus I think of & worry about every little thing most of the time.
I just like the piece of mind, and safety to know if someone is crawling around, nobody will get a face full of N2O.
