pressure controlled bottle heaters

Are there any pressure controlled bottle heaters out there that will work with the bottle closed? If so, could someone kindly point me in the right direction?

Any pressure controled bottle heater will work with the bottle closed as long as you mount the pressure transducer to a location where it can still sense pressure with the bottle closed.

That's the problem, where can I mount the transducer? This is a pic of my NOS bottle valve. Keep in mind, the fitting in the front must be used for my blow down tube.

i do not have a fitting solution for you, but you're going to have to find a way to tee off for the transducer upstream of the pop-off diaphram.

I dont understand why you would want to regulate bottle pressure with the valve closed. You worried about the nitrous solenoid leaking?

Decided to go ahead and buy the NOS super high flow bottle valve. It has 2 extra ports on the bottle side that will allow me to use the transducer and a guage with the bottle open or closed.
