I bought this brass ball valve from Home Depot and installed it in the orientation of what I would consider "backwards". I'm not sure if it actually matters and before I close up the wall I would like to make sure orientation isn't an issue with these.

You can find more information on our web, so please take a look.

My use of the term "backwards" in this case is when the handle points against the flow of water in the open state.

Model: NSF61-8?
