Default Nitrous Outlet install wiring questions

I am about to begin my 92mm plate kit. I purchased a heated bottle bracket and also a purge kit with the plate system. I have a total of 3 relays that came with everything. The directions call for a total of 3 12v sources from ign/key hot. I already am using the ign 12v source in the fuse box on the driver side of the dash for 2 gauges I have in the dash. My question is where else can I safely pull 12v ign/hot power for 3 different sources? The purge kit and bottle heater/bracket came with good instructions for their own wiring. However, the only instructions for the solenoids and everything in the main kit came with the ashtray switch. There arent any instructions at all in the packaging containg the solenoids and lines.

If you use the relays, you shouldn't have a problem pulling everything from that switch ign on the fuse panel. Your main power will be coming from the battery.

#30 on your relay will be directly to your battery. you will come off that 12v switch to your switch panel. the 86 switch leg will pull less then 1 amp per relay so you should be fine.

Should I put fuses on all #30 wires going straight to power at the battery? If so what size/type

Also for some reason my inlet fitting on the fuel noid is turned up. Shouldn't in be parallel with the outlet fitting? Can I just turn it down where it needs to be to line everything up. This will back it out about a quarter turn is why I'm asking

i would take it off then Put a little loctite on it and screw it back on and point it where it needs to go. Sorry about that. I recommend putting fuses on everything! If the wire was to short to ground somehow it will pop the fuse instead of arcing and having a constant hot.

we just use blue loctite on the fittings. Never use tape. I would use a 40amp fuse.
