What is the purpose of a nitrous solenoid?

A nitrous solenoid acts as an electrically controlled valve. It opens to allow nitrous oxide to flow into your engine when your nitrous system is activated and closes to stop the flow when the system is turned off.

What does the .178 orifice size mean?

The .178 orifice refers to the diameter of the opening inside the solenoid that controls the amount of nitrous oxide that can pass through. This size is common for many nitrous applications and affects the overall flow rate.

About this part

Product Details

This is the Nitrous Express Super Shark nitrous solenoid, featuring a .178 orifice. It's designed to control the flow of nitrous oxide in your forced induction system. The solenoid acts as an electrically controlled valve, opening to allow nitrous to enter the engine when you activate your system and closing when you deactivate it. This particular model has a 1/4 inch NPT side inlet for the nitrous supply line and a 1/8 inch NPT bottom exit, which is where the nitrous flows out towards your engine or distribution block.

Built for reliable operation, this solenoid is a solid option for anyone putting together or servicing a nitrous oxide system. Its construction is straightforward, focusing on the core function of accurately metering nitrous flow. The .178 orifice size is a common specification for many nitrous applications, offering a good balance for various engine setups. Ensure you have the correct fittings for the 1/4" NPT inlet and 1/8" NPT outlet when installing.
