can vent face upwards on a backflow preventer
My boiler has a Watts Series 9D Backflow Preventer 3/4" installed and the vent is facing upwards.
Do you think its a problem or should i try turning it so it points downward. It may not be easy to turn downward. Thanks.

It should have union style ends on it so turning it should not be a big problem.Originally Posted by trafficscout
