Nitrous Express Purge Valve for Lightning & Iceman – Machined Plastic

Description

Product Overview

The Nitrous Express Purge Valve is engineered specifically for the high‑performance Lightning and Iceman solenoids found in many drag racing applications. Constructed from a precision‑machined plastic material, the valve offers a lightweight yet robust solution that resists corrosion, cracking, and wear even under the extreme pressures generated during nitrous oxide injection. The design incorporates a national pipe tapered inlet and an MNPT outlet, ensuring a secure, leak‑free connection to your vehicle’s fuel system. In addition to the valve body, the package includes a dedicated Lightning purge solenoid, a push‑button actuator, a vent tube, and a 1/8 NPT to 1/8 NPT fitting, providing everything needed for a complete installation without the need for additional components. Each component has been tested to meet the rigorous standards of automotive performance parts, delivering consistent operation and reliable performance race after race.

Usage

This purge valve is ideal for racers who demand rapid, controlled releases of pressure to achieve harder launches and improved 60‑foot times. By connecting the valve to the bypass or purge port of the Lightning or Iceman solenoids, drivers can fine‑tune the amount of nitrous released at launch, allowing for a more aggressive initial thrust without sacrificing engine reliability. The valve’s easy‑install design means it can be fitted in a standard garage or pit lane environment, making it suitable for both professional race teams and dedicated hobbyists. Whether you are competing in a sanctioned drag strip event or testing performance upgrades on a private track, the Nitrous Express Purge Valve provides the flexibility to adjust launch characteristics on the fly, helping you shave up to two tenths off your quarter‑mile elapsed time.

FAQ

Can the purge valve be used with other solenoid brands?

While the valve is optimized for Nitrous Express Lightning and Iceman solenoids, it can be adapted to other compatible solenoid models that share the same inlet and outlet thread specifications. However, for best performance and to maintain warranty coverage, we recommend using it with the intended solenoid types.

What tools are required for installation?

Installation typically requires basic hand tools such as a wrench or socket set to secure the inlet and outlet connections, as well as a screwdriver for mounting the push‑button actuator. No specialized equipment is needed, and the included instructions guide you through each step.

How does the vent tube affect performance?

The vent tube provides a controlled pathway for excess pressure to be released, allowing you to fine‑tune the amount of nitrous delivered during launch. By adjusting the vent flow, you can achieve a more aggressive initial thrust while preventing over‑pressurization that could damage the engine.

Is there a warranty on the purge valve?

Yes, Nitrous Express offers a limited warranty covering manufacturing defects for a period of one year from the date of purchase. This warranty does not cover damage caused by improper installation or misuse.

Can the purge valve be installed on a street‑legal vehicle?

The purge valve is designed for performance and racing applications. While it can be installed on a street‑legal vehicle, users should ensure compliance with local regulations regarding nitrous oxide systems and verify that the installation does not interfere with emissions or safety standards.
