NOS Nitrous Oxide Bottle

NOS Nitrous Oxide Bottles: The Original Standard in Performance Storage

When it comes to storing and delivering nitrous oxide safely and efficiently, few names carry more weight than NOS (Nitrous Oxide Systems). NOS nitrous oxide bottles are the physical heart of any nitrous system — and NOS has engineered theirs to reflect decades of real-world racing development. From drag strips to road courses, these bottles are trusted by competitors who cannot afford to compromise on safety or flow consistency.

Purpose-Built Construction and Materials

NOS nitrous oxide bottles are constructed from 6061-T6 aluminum, a high-strength alloy that delivers the best balance of weight savings and structural integrity. Every bottle is DOT-approved, meaning it meets the rigorous safety requirements set by the U.S. Department of Transportation for pressurized gas storage. Each bottle also features a built-in siphon tube and an exclusive blow-off venting system for an additional layer of safety during use and storage.

Signature Valves and Iconic Finishes

One of the most recognized features of NOS bottles is the valve technology. The Super Hi-Flo valve — reintroduced after becoming a legend in racing circles — is engineered for superior flow and efficient delivery of nitrous oxide, ensuring quick, precise activation when you need it most. A screw-in 3/8 in. I.D. siphon tube and a color-graduated nitrous pressure gauge come standard, giving drivers at-a-glance monitoring of bottle pressure.

NOS bottles are offered in multiple finishes to suit different builds and preferences. The classic Electric Blue finish is instantly recognizable on any race car, while NOS also offers bottles in gloss black with a distinctive carbon and chrome decal for a more stealthy, high-tech appearance. A special Sniper Orange finish is featured on select kit bundles. For racers prioritizing weight reduction, NOS even offers carbon fiber-wrapped bottles that weigh roughly half of a standard aluminum bottle.

Available Sizes to Match Your Setup

NOS bottles are available in a range of capacities to fit everything from a lightweight street car to a dedicated race build. Common sizes include 2.5 lb., 5 lb., 10 lb., 15 lb., and 20 lb. options, covering a wide spectrum of nitrous demand. The 2.5 lb. bottle with Mini Hi-Flo valve is ideal for weight-conscious builds, while the 20 lb. bottle with Super Hi-Flo valve is designed for serious performance applications requiring maximum nitrous volume.

Why NOS Bottles Are in a Class of Their Own

NOS has been at the forefront of nitrous performance since the late 1970s, and their nitrous oxide bottles reflect that legacy. Race reports consistently show that the NOS brand powers more racers than any other nitrous brand. Whether you are building a weekend bracket racer or a street/strip machine, an NOS bottle is the proven, trusted foundation for your nitrous system.
