Does anyon know if any building reg specifying that the female end of a
coupler must point backwards (uphill, towards the flow source), and the
male end of the coupler must point forward (downhill, in the direction of
the flow)? I have a situation where it would be much more convenient to
have one coupling the other way round.

TIA

I have had contractors change a full underground line of old fashioned
fireclay spigots and faucets laid the wrong way around but it may not matter
depending on what the joint seal is ......if you look at the likes of
hepsleve or supersleve the couplers are both ways with a good seal ...but
you are probably talking about plumbing .....
