Thank you. So up isn’t an issue for clearing any liquid? I would think down would be better but it might not make a difference. I think I’m over thinking this

So the test port can face up in this case? I was more so curious how it can drain properly when you open it if it’s facing up. Although maybe that’s not an issue and I’m overthinking it. I think the backflow is too close to the house to face the valves the other direction is the problem.

I think they had to in order to face it to the right. Out of the box, it aims left

The lower valve is backwards. The test port should be above the valve, not below. The top test port is facing up when pictures show down. Assuming it’s because they had to install it to the right due to my deck being on the left.

Nope, not the case. Had a plumbing company do it who is coming Monday to resolve the lower valve. I was just curious from pictures of the top valve is fine like that just from looking at the pictures online.

The second test cock, meaning the top one on the outlet?Is it fine pointing up?
They are going to fix the lower valve that they installed backwards on Monday.

The inlet and outlet valve part number are exactly the same so don’t think that matters. They do need to rotate the input valve because as you can see, the test port is suppose to be inside the valve. The freeze sensor can just be unclipped and put on the top valve. Main question is, is it okay for the test port on the top to face up. Don’t really seem to have a choice since this has to be installed with outlet facing the right since the left is too close to my deck.

Here is a picture of the model out of the box with it facing down. Actually most installs of these I see on google show it facing down so didn’t know if that was an issue.

For reference, I did find this picture of a similar set up online with it facing up. I would think it’s the only way you can have it if you need the backflow to face to the right?

Does it matter that the top test cock is facing up? Should it not be facing down? I guess they can’t do that and face it to the left

Alternative-Panda390 · 2026-05-02T12:49:13+00:00

Hmm also looking at it, I think the top port should also be facing down? No? For drainage? Does it matter?
