replacing a stop and waste valve
Hey everyone. I am replacing a stop and waste valve, one with the little
drain cap, on my cold water supply line. Supply lines are copper and valve is sweat on. Quick question I have before I do it and realize it is backwards. Does the arrow on the stop and waste valve indicate the direction of the water flow? I know the little drain cap allows draining of the non-pressureized side when the valve is closed, but if I get it backwards, it will be draining the wrong side. Just want to be double sure. Thanks. Eric |
