Default Bottle heater pressure switch location

I have a 10# bottle with high flow valve and it has the port on the side for a nitrous gauge that will read even with the valve closed. I am wanting to hook up a dyno tune heater and pressure switch to control it and the instructions show hooking up the switch with an adapter right off the bottle nut but to use the heater the valve has to be open. Has anyone ever tried putting the switch on the side of the bottle valve where it sees pressure all the time? this way I could turn on the heater and not have the valve open. also could i put a tee fitting on it and use that port for a nitous guage and the heater switch?

I know alot of people that have them in the port. I have a couple bottle though so it makes it a pain. Just make sure its empty when you install it

I think Summit Racing its a NOS one to a 4 port. You will need a 1/8" NPT nipple as well. 16710NOS is the NOS part number for the block.
