Default Bottle Valve Question

So I sent my bottle to Dave's Nitrous a little over 3 weeks ago. I had a pressure switch break in the valve and needed a new valve. I finally got the bottle back last night but now have a question. My old valve had a seperate opening for the pressure switch, and my new one doesn't. It looks like a piece will screw out with just an allen wrench but I wanted to check and see if thats the case.

Sorry for the crappy pics, only could find my camera phone

you will just remove the plug and replace with your pressure switch

you will also need to take the NHRA fitting from the old valve and transfer it to the new valve also

This may sound stupid...but do not unscrew that plug if the bottle has any nitrous in it. Its an open port and will depressurize if opened while nitrous is in the bottle.

The allen may be 3/16, but the threads are 1/8" NPT. /clarification
