Default Electric nitrous pressure gauge needs adaptor?

For those that have an electric nitrous pressure gauge, did you need an adaptor to mount it to the bottle? Looks like there is a bolt on the other side of the nitrous outlet that might be able to take the nitrous pressure sender but it looks like a special bolt that I shouldn't mess with. Advice? Thanks.

Based off the image i posted, the blue line is where the nitrous line and if you have an automatic bottle warmer, the pressure tranducer can go. The red circle would be where the blow down tube would go, and the black line is anything else you can put in, such as a nitrous gauge, an electronic sender, etc. So if your bottle looks like that, you can add the electronic sender. Just count the ports you have, 1 for nitrous, 1 for blow down, and other. I have a bigger version if you need it. Hope that helps.

So I guess those ports are just for extras for the bottle. Mine is not that brand, mine is a Zex. I'm thinking that the bolt I was thinking about putting the sender in place of will be ok. It's the shiny bolt on top in the pic, opposite of the nitrous line. What do you think?

I guess the port at the top is for the blow down tube, so I will try to see if the threads are the same for the pressure sender tomorrow.

As mentioned above, if you have a bottle that has 3 outlets, then you can use 1 for the nitrous line, 1 for the blowdown tube, and 1 for whatever else you want (i.e., pressure gauge).

I see that you have the ZEX bottle, but don't fret. You can always get these adapters that allows you to share one port among multiple things.

Here's an example:

To see it actually done, you can see my attached image. The below image shows the adapter being used to connect nitrous line, digital pressure gauge sensor, and the automatic bottle heater (left to right).

Man I really want that Digital pressure gauge. Does anyone know if they make a single gauge pod for the pillar for our cars?
