Gate Valve Orientation
 

Use ball valves.

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?

You can mount gate valve in any direction you of your choosing

However up side down if you water carry sediment in few years you may

Get some problem opening and closing other then that I do not see any
problems.

To my experience the direction doesn’t matter. Only about five percent
of them close right after several years no matter how you install the
damn things. I hate gate valves.

It's really none of my business the orientation of a gate valve, but I am
against same-sex gate valve marriage.

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

When you subsidize poverty and failure, you get more of both.

Microsoft. I bet he hit Enter after "you may", and helpful grammar-
checking
software capitalized "Get", because it is the first word of a
paragraph.

Yes, there are some other spelling and punctuation issues, but it's
the "Get" that really makes it confusing. Most of the other stuff
looks
like lazy typing, or mind working faster than fingers, or something of
that sort.
