OK, now that that's out of the way...

I Googled about installing them upside down like in a basement. Saw pros &
cons. Mostly about it promotes sediment collection messing up the
operation. The ones I'm using are 1/2" & 3/4", one hot and one cold. There
are no flow direction arrows on them.

What's the feel from you folks on upside down installation from actual
experience?

Damn it, Red, listen to your own advice. Grow a set of ball valves
and use them! You will thank me later.
