Default supply line valve pointing down

I removed the old supply line valve for a vanity sink and replaced it

down instead of up.

Anyway to make it pointing up?



this is what i do, your mileage may vary

1. screw the valve on by hand as tight as I can get it

2. tighten further by wrench ( 1/2 to 1-1/2 turns ) until its oriented
like i want it

3. check for leaks. if it leaks, I tighten another turn
