Will this damage fuel solenoid??

my fuel solenoid for my nitrous system is hooked up to the fuel pressure guage port on the fuel delivery block coming off the carb(holley dp). My question is because its hooked up that way, even when i'm not spraying the fuel solenoid is still seeing constant pressure because its hooked to the pressure guage port....is that good or bad for the solenoid??
P.S- everything is wired to an on/off arming switch if that makes a difference.

Mine is hooked up off the fuel rail and sees constant pressure everytime the motor is running. I've been driving around for years with this set-up. Unless you run a seperate fuel system for the fuel side, it's ok.

thanks man, just wanted to know that i'm not shortening the life of the solenoid by having it hooked up that way.

In every Nitrous setup there is always pressure on the solenoid. Even in a low pressure seperate fuel source setup. It is fine.
