NOS switch question

Is this possible and safe...

1 switch nos setup....

Hook bottle heater to 12V hot when the car is on. Bottle will be on all the time when the car is on. No switch needed.

1 switch in cabin. hook the bottle opener and system arm to same switch. flip switch and go WOT! (not using purge)


See any problems? What is the best way to wire the bottle opener and system are togethrer? with a relay?

Comments?

Is it really that difficult to switch 2 instead of one. This is one area i'd rather be safe then sorry. My heater only works when the bottle is open and armed.

I imagine that it takes time for the bottle to heat up so you cant switch the system on and go.

I,m looking to hook up one nice switch with a key to secure the whole system. Just trying for as simple operation as possible.

Remote bottle opener is a two way momentary switch. The system arm switch is a toggle switch. You can't wire them into one.

It takes about 20 mins for my bottle to heat up when its around 40 outside.

A toggle switch is either on or off. A momentary switch you have to hold in the direction you want the power to go to, either to close or open the bottle, and it is spring loaded to go back to center (off) position.
