I'm not clear what you want to do. A rad can have its water flow in any direction, the 2 issues to bear in mind a

1. They tend to accumulate air, this must be let out at the top either by the built-in bleed valve or go up a pipe with exiting water. The former is manual, the latter automatic.

2. Hot water tends to stratify at the top of the rad, cooler at the bottom so you get more heat output if water goes in & out at the bottom. But it still works the other way.
