Nitrous Control Valve?
I know this is nitrous related by maybe someone has experience with these on other applications.
Can I leave the bottle open all the time and use one of these as a shut on/off valve. Do these type of valves tend to leak more? I'm looking for a easier way to open or close without the expense of a remote opener.
Thanks

I can already reach back to open the bottle if I sit/stand way up but it's a pain to turn the valve. This would make it much easier if it works. I have a purge installed too.

Get a hold of some of the nitrous sponsors, there are valves like that as pictured that can handle the high pressure. Their not cheap, but it's crossed my mind too, even though I have my bottle mounted on the hump. It's not like you can easily turn and reach the handle in a hurry if you had to when your strapped in.

I'll check out some of the vendors. Someone also mentioned mcmastercarr or grainger as long as it was rated for high pressure.
