You should already have the blowdown tube fitting on the bottle.
-8AN fitting to a tube or hose.
In my case I used a -8 AN Bulkhead fitting to vent it out the bottom of that compartment.

What kit did you use? I have a simple BD tube and it has a -8AN fitting on it. I have one spot one my fitting that is 1/8npt. I would love to get a flexible tube to connect like yours if possible. Where can I get these parts and what will I need? Car is going in for a full dyno tune next week and I want to make sure I have everything.

Actually now that I look at your setup more. You have the tube where I have a cap with a bust disk behind it? That makes no sense. Should I pull that plug and go there? what is that fitting? I know that if I use a flexible bd tube I need a bulk head fitting.

My blow down hose I made from -8 AN fittings at each end (one straight one a 90°), and a -8 AN bulk head penetration. The hose is stainless braid -8AN. The fittings I got from Summitracing (Sucked getting those fittings installed myself, there is a trick to it !).
Call Dave/Chris/Ray and tell him what you want, they can probably hook ya up.
Your blow down fitting (on the Bottle) should be on the bottle already with a rupture disc under it. The other 1/8" NPT ports are for heater switch or a gauge/remote gauge sending unit.

The purpose of the Blow down tube/Blow down hose is if the bottle over pressures, the ruture disc breaks, allowing the nitrous to flow out of the bottle (thus relieving the overpressured bottle). You want the Nitrous to exit the compartment, thus the requirement at the track for the hose/tube to vent outside.
Capping the Blow Down/Rupture Disc fitting defeats the purpose of it
