Default New Mechanical Remote Bottle Opener

I was able to grab a quick pic of our new Mechanical Remote Bottle Opener today. It’s compatible with quite a few of the valves out there, and the quick disconnect push pins are really nice for bottle refills. No tools are need and literally takes 2 seconds to get the motor off the bottle. Two color choices too, clear anodized & black anodized.

Do they come with a timer (i.e. the NOS brand) to turn off the motor automatically, or do just hold your open button for a few seconds and let go. I like the fact its compact. I have the NOS right now. By the way, I trashed the timmers, because there actually on TNT bottles, which take half the time to open as the NOS bottle valves.

No such thing as a dumb question. At the top there is a motor that physically spins the bottle valve open (or closed). When you go to get your bottle filled most of the time you have to take the motor off, with the pushpin design you can quickly take it off. The **** under the motor is shaped like a regular bottle valve ****, so you can manually open and close the valve without having to carry around your old valve **** when you get a refill. I hope that made some sense, at least its Friday lol.

Push & hold button in the kit, we're working on an optional timer module too.

the other nice thing is that for people like me that have their bottle in the spare tire well you dont have to worry about mounting it in the right position and getting it to work and not hit the speaker.

Not to jump in another brands thread but the NOS box is not just a timer. It also senses load so on your other brand bottle it should stop as soon as the valve shuts which puts excess load on the motor. This prevents valve damage.

Is this gonna work on the nx 10lb bottle I have. The bottle has two unused(for now) ports, blowoff port and the main. Heres a pic:

Id like to use the unused ports for the nx pressure transducer and the nx pressure gauge. Will it work with my application? Ive been waiting for months for a good solution.

Yup, it will work no problem. The bracket design was made for valves with more then one port on them.
